CARE & TREATMENT REVIEWS
Review Protocol & Report Template May 2015
Care and treatment reviews (CTRs) were introduced in October 2014 in order to facilitate planning for discharge of people with
learning disabilities and/or autism who remained in hospital care but without an identified plan for discharge.
Following successful outcomes for many patients and positive feedback on the process, these reviews have been extended to
other parts of the patient pathway, to prevent unnecessary admissions and for those in NHS funded inpatient beds including
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, and secure hospitals.
CTRS are not intended to replace or undermine the Care Programme Approach, but to enhance the process of person centred
planning and support at various points along the patient pathway.
The aims of CTR are to:
Support the individual and their family to be partners in the care and treatment process.
Support professionals to work together with the person and family to find alternatives to admission or support discharge
from hospital
Ask why the person needs to be in hospital and, if there are care and treatment needs, why these cannot be carried out
in the community?
If the resources are not in place to support someone’s discharge, then to make clear recommendations about what
needs to be done to get to the point of a safe discharge.
The spirit in which the CTR is carried out is as important as the process and the documentation. It is the responsibility of all
involved to ensure that a CTR is conducted in an atmosphere of:
Openness
Honesty
Transparency2
Flexibility
Person-centredness
Mutual respect
Wherever possible the CTR report should include direct quotes from the person with learning disabilities and their family in
order to maintain a strong personalised focus.
This document represents the core framework for care and treatment reviews. We have prepared addenda for children and for
people in secure hospital settings who may be under a restricted section of the Mental Health Act.
The questions in these addenda should be regarded as an enhancement and/or an aid to focusing the emphasis of the
questions in the core framework to match the particular and personal characteristics of the individual whose care is being
reviewed. For each group of key questions in the core framework, there are enhancing questions for that section in the
relevant addendum.

Guidance for reviewers on structuring information gathering The review team should structure their questioning and information gathering around the following themes in order to draw their conclusions on safety, current care & future planning:
Who is the person including: family, schooling, time in 'care', family or care breakdown stories, forensic history etc. ( A brief pen picture/timeline to be established at the beginning of the day)
Formulation and Diagnosis(es): including physical health, annual health check. Do any of these diagnoses necessitate care as an inpatient?
What is the treatment plan that follows from the formulation and diagnoses? Include drugs, therapy, diet and care that keeps them safe and well. Is there an evidence base for these treatments and are they effective & leading to discharge?
Can the treatments and care be given in a community setting? What is the person's view of their needs? What are their hopes and fears? What is the family's view of the person's needs? What are their hopes and fears? What does the commissioner and provider think the person needs? What are their
concerns? What does the Clinician and clinical team responsible for their care think the person
needs? What are their concerns?
The checklist below will help in the drawing together of information to support the above themes. It is not intended to be used as a rigid set of questions but as a guiding framework for discussions and help in drawing up the findings and recommendations.
RATINGS:
Discharge from hospital, or support to remain in the community, is being prevented or made more difficult by these issues
Discharge from hospital, or support to remain in the community, is largely unaffected by these issues
Discharge from hospital, or support to remain in the community, is being supported by these issues
