Ravenscraig Ward
Learners Resource Pack
What we are
We provide an acute admission
service for the under 65 patient
group with mental health needs for
the Kirkcaldy & Levenmouth
sectors (Kirkcaldy, Burntisland,
Cardenden, Kinghorn, Methil,
Buckhaven, Kennoway, Leven).
Admissions to our service tend to
be emergency in nature, but
referrals can be made by the
appropriate professionals (GP’s,
Community Nursing Teams, Social
Work Dept, Addiction services) for
those who have mental health
needs and require inpatient care
for specific treatment.
What We Do
• We provide treatment that is based on holistic assessment and
centred on the principles of recovery.
• This treatment can be provided in a range of forms i.e. Medical,
Physical, Group Therapies, 1 to 1 Interactions with nursing staff.
• The care is delivered with education and empowerment a priority
focus, although the use of Mental Health Act 2003 may place
significant restrictions on a patient.
• Accompanying the treatment is the intensive co-ordination that is
necessary in addressing basic needs (housing, financial, social
inclusion, vocational etc.) and future care needs. Dealing with these
needs requires a significant amount of MDT consultation, inter agency liaison, referrals and ultimately – teamwork!
• A large part of what we do is observation and risk assessment. Both
go hand in hand in safely managing a patient’s treatment and
progression to discharge.
Ravenscraig in The Middle
• We network, utilise
& liaise with many
other organisations,
departments &
agencies.
• In the system that
responds to mental
health crisis within
our sector,
Ravenscraig is a
small but vital cog!

The Care Delivery System
We work with 5 consultant Psychiatrists – Dr
Reid, Dr Smith, Dr Philipson, Dr Boilson & Dr
Burgess who cover the GP practices within our
sectors. Who your GP is dictates who your
Consultant will be on Ravenscraig ward.

The nursing team is divided into 3 care
management teams that work with all the
consultant psychiatrists.
Each team has a team leader who is the
named nurse and is responsible for ensuring
that all of the patient’s care needs are met.
This system and the development of nursing
staff is overseen by the SCN/CN
Nursing Team 1
Nursing Team 2
Nursing Team 3

with a wide range

Many of the
symptoms within

co-exist and
influence the
other, thus often
presenting
complex and
intensive
treatment needs.

The Recovery Process & The Tidal Model
• Rights, Relationships & Recovery (2006) was the report
of the National Review of Mental Health Nursing in
Scotland. The report contained the delivery action plan
on which the future of mental health nursing should be
developed.
• Pivotal to the action plan is the implementation of a
recovery focused strategy for care delivery. Now many
of us may ask ourselves ‘haven't we be doing that all
along?’ In short, yes we have, but have we maximised
the full potential for recovery, by understanding and
building on what can help people to recover?
The Recovery Process & The Tidal Model
•
•
•
•
•
In 2004 The Scottish Recovery Network (SRN) was formed to
promote and support recovery.
‘Recovery is a highly personal process – no two people’s experience
will be the same.’
‘Raise awareness of the fact that people can and do recover from
long-term mental health problems.’
‘Develop an understanding of how best to promote recovery and
learn more about what helps people recover and stay well.’
Since 2004 ‘the interest in the concept of recovery has increased
greatly in Scotland. We now understand more about what recovery
means to people and are thinking carefully about the implications for
the way we support people with mental health issues.’ (SRN)
The Recovery Process & The Tidal Model
• To capitalise on the need for change in the care delivery
focus, a Values Based Practice platform was developed
by NES – the 10 Essential Shared Capabilities. These
capabilities based on the Milan principles which
underpinned the Mental Health Act Scotland 2003 are
shaped to encourage open-mindedness and free
thinking and challenge the sometimes rigid thought
processes and ways of care delivery in existence. The
capabilities are essential in maximising recovery and
developing professional practice. They are the
foundations on which practice and education will be
developed for the future.
• Go and check them out!
The Tidal Model
•
Tidal emphasises the discovery of mental health, as its meaning varies from
one person to another. It is hoped that people will discover what mental
health means for them as unique persons.
•
Tidal helps people navigate their way to recovery.
•
The accompanying documentation currently in use is designed to
encourage a strengths based & solution focused way of getting to know and
understand our patients, capitalising on who they are, what they value and
what their strengths are. It also encourages the bread and butter of our work
– 1 to 1 time!!!
•
Again…you may ask yourself haven't we been doing this all along…yes and
no! Do the Tidal training and you will recognise that we (nurses) may have
lost our way a little bit.
