Introduced by the Mental Health Act 2007, Supervised Community Treatment (SCT) is implemented through the making of a Community Treatment Order and increases the range of options for mental health treatment in the community. This guide is intended for all those involved with patients who are being considered for, or are on, SCT, including mental health professionals working directly with patients. It describes the stages involved in deciding whether SCT is suitable and appropriate for the patient, covering patient eligibility and suitability, what conditions should be attached and the agreement to be reached before a Community Treatment Order is made, the care plan that should be available for the patient in the community and setting up treatment, managing in the community and how the patient will be monitored and supported, processes for recalling the patient and revoking the order, procedures to be followed to end SCT, and children and adolescents. This guide is not intended as a substitute for consulting the Act and Regulations, Code of Practice and Reference Guide, but as a quick reminder of all the issues.

This Framework describes how the NHS Long Term Plan’s vision for a place-based community mental health model can be realised, and how community services should modernise to offer whole-person, whole-population health approaches, aligned with the new Primary Care Networks. The integrated approach will provide benefits for both service users and staff, though integrated assessment, fewer referrals and more direct contact time between staff and service users. The Framework includes links to resources and good practice examples. It has been in partnership with an Expert Reference Group drawn from a range of disciplines and professions across health, social care, the VCSE sector, community groups, and users and carers.

It is aimed at staff in hospital and community teams in Scotland and has been written in consultation with mental health care practitioners, users of services, and patients’ relatives who have direct experience of adult acute settings. It looks at each of the rights set out in the Rights in Mind pathway to patients’ rights in mental health services. There is a section for each stage, covering patient’s rights in the community, hospital admission, hospital care, and hospital discharge. The guide also sets out overarching rights that apply across all of these stages. Short case studies are included to illustrate different scenarios. The guide can be used both as a reference guide and as an improvement resource to help staff reflect on their policies and practice. (Edited publisher abstract)
