abstract="The Care Programme Approach (CPA) can be an effective tool in coordinating the care  and treatment needs of people with mental illness and learning disabilities. Within  prisons settings, the CPA has been poorly implemented and the principles  underpinning this approach have been lost. This paper presents the key themes  identified as part of a consultation process to develop quality guidance on planning  effective mental healthcare in prisons in relation to the CPA. It was conducted by  the Quality Network for Prison Mental Health Services, a quality improvement  initiative organised by the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Centre for Quality  Improvement. The information derived from the consultation process indicates that  there is a substantial need for standardisation and consistency in the application  of the CPA process within prisons, for the purposes of enhanced care delivery,  greater continuity of care, and improved patient outcomes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
