- CAPA - Choice and Partnership Approach
This website aims to provide everything you need to know about Choice and Partnership Approach (CAPA): the 11 components, the basics, how to implement, troubleshooting, service evaluation, and stories of services who have implemented this approach. CAPA is a clinical system used in many CAMHS teams in the UK and internationally. It is informed by demand and capacity theory (The 7 Helpful Habits of Effective CAMHS) and has links with Lean Thinking, New Ways of Working, Our Choices in Mental Health and You’re Welcome Standards. Evaluation has shown that users are seen quickly, feel listened to and involved and that waits and non attendances are reduced, while staff describe increased job satisfaction, higher morale and improved team working. The book, The Choice and Partnership Approach: a guide to CAPA is available from the website.

- The integration of a specialized eating disorders nurse on a general inpatient pediatric unit
Eating disorders (EDs) affect approximately 5% of Canadian adolescents. Patients experiencing acute medical complications of their illness are often treated on a general pediatric ward with mixed populations. Twenty-one health care providers shared their experiences caring for youth with EDs and provided feedback regarding the integration of a specialized ED nurse (ED-RN). Findings suggest that an RN and ED-RN model produces consistent care for ED patients and satisfying therapeutic relationships for nurses. ED-RNs caring for youth with EDs need support from their peers, whereas other nurses need training regarding this population. Suggestions for the integration of specialized RN roles are discussed.
