3 - Health

If I get a call from a patient in distress, I may perform 30 minutes of crisis intervention over the phone. Or I may visit one of my patients if they're in the hospital. Sometimes I need to phone a family member. Or, I may need to get a prescription for a patient from the psychiatrist and drop it off at the pharmacy.

I may have a patient assessment booked, which takes about an hour and a half. On certain days I book meetings involving the patient, the psychiatrist and myself. There's also peer supervision where, once a week, we take turns presenting articles or interesting cases.
