Working Together - Celebrating Psychiatric Team Success
As part of the annual RCPsych Awards, the
RCPsych Psychiatric Team of the Year Award is made each year to a
team that demonstrates innovation, leadership, teamwork and
effective use of resources. The winners of this Award clearly
demonstrate best practice and team-working across a variety of
specialties and settings.
As part of the College’s commitment to sharing
best practice, the case studies in this section are designed to
help disseminate this best practice by giving an overview of the
work done and the achievements of these teams.
