Mental Work

Writing a good case report is an essential skill for mental health workers but it's a hard one to master! Annie Slater has seen so many case reports in her role as Director of the Provisional Psychologist Network and knows exactly what makes a great case report. In this ep, she describes the common mistakes she sees, essential tips, resources for improving the process, and how to make the task more manageable. If you're undertaking a placement or supervised practice where you need to write case reports, you'll love Annie's tips! 😊🙌
