The Way

This paper will describe the increasingly important role of the community psychiatric nurse (CPN) in the treatment and management of people with schizophrenia, and draw attention to new training programmes which have a focus on skills acquisition in evidence-based methods. However, before describing the way in which these programmes of training improve CPN skills, it is worth examining the history of community psychiatric nursing.

Operational Policies

Community psychiatric nursing has developed rapidly in recent years and there is a great variation between services and in operational policies. It seemed appropriate that there should be some discussion within the College as to the role of the community psychiatric nurse, lines of responsibility and communication and relationship with other professional groups.
