You will identify a critical event from your mental health nursing practice in which it was necessary to make a team-based decision about the care of a service user in mental health crisis. You will critically analyse the decision-making process, reviewing and evaluating relevant theory, models and evidence relating to the assessment and decision making in your chosen scenario.

Your critical event analysis will be specific to your practice experiences and is aimed at exploring the impact this has on your development as a student nurse. You are required to select an example where you observed and/or participated in practice in which the team-based decision was made about a patient or service user. The assignment scenario should be based around the main topic in the Assessment and Decision-making in Mental Health.
