Assignment task: Reflection on Meeting Professional Values by Promote Professionalism and Trust in my placement Forensic Mental Health Care at Brockfield House Alpine Ward?
Working at Brockfield House Alpine Ward, a medium secure adult mental health unit, provided me with a unique insight into forensic mental health care. The patients here were detained under the Mental Health Act, and I had the opportunity to participate in multi-disciplinary team meetings and patient assessments. This placement allowed me to witness the complexities of caring for patients with criminal justice system involvement and mental health issues. It reinforced the importance of risk assessments, care planning, and understanding the legal frameworks that govern forensic mental health care. The NMC guidelines on safeguarding and risk management were particularly relevant, as I had to ensure that care was provided safely and ethically while adhering to the rules of the Mental Health Act (Nursing and Midwifery Council, 2018) Need Assignment Help?
