Barnet, Enfield and Haringey
Mental Health NHS Trust
After-Care
Potentially Mr Cordell care/treatment would be delivered via the Care Programme
Approach. I am the allocated Care Coordinator and he will have a responsible clinician in
the community.
My role would be first of all to build a relationship with Mr Cordell as I have only met him on
2 occasions. I will try to motivate him to engage with myself and the multidisciplinary team.
As his Care Coordinator I will review Mr Cordell regularly independently and with the
Community RC.
We have a Team Clinical Psychologist and it would be vital for Mr Cordell to have some
form of talking therapy. This is on the basis of the stress and anxiety that his mother states
he suffers from.
We have a Dual Diagnosis Worker in the team who could offer drug counselling if
necessary.
We have an organisation called ‘Remploy’ which is funded by the Local Authority.
Potentially they could support Mr Cordell to find work. They meet regularly with clients
whilst they are in work and also liaise with employers.
I could support Mr Cordell in making an application for PIP. Alternatively he could get that
support from ‘Enfield Well-Being Connect’
The Mental Health Enablement Team could provide support in tenancy management as
well as support to access education/training and work.
Opinion and recommendations
I have met Mr Cordell on two occasions only and I have not had the opportunity to assess
him in the community. A rapport needs to be established with him.
On the basis of recent events, history of risks to self and alleged risks towards others, and
taking into account the views of the MDT on the ward I think that he would benefit from a
longer stay in hospital. This is in-order for the MDT to assess him comprehensively to
determine if he has a severe and enduring mental illness such as schizophrenia/psychosis.
If it is determined that he has a severe mental illness then this should be treated accordingly
whilst he is in hospital.
