               Department of Psychiatry, Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, Hong Kong

               Background
               Mental health services in Connecticut, New Haven, delivered by the US Government (DMHAS) have a strong collaboration
               with private local mental health authorities and non-profit private agencies to promote recovery in mental health and
               substance abuse services.

               Observation
               Supporting clients to reconnect with the community and regain a normal life is the core values of all recovery works.
               Recovery-focused projects such as “Citizens Projects”, “What’s Up”, “Recovery Speak” promote extended roles of peer
               workers to  be  advocates in public  health  promotion and  staff recovery  training.  Well-established credential training  and
               career pathway for peer workers create conducive recovery movement. Successful implementation of “Person-centred
               Recovery Planning” empowers clients’ strengths and motivation to accomplish personal goals and facilitates social inclusion.
               Trauma-informed Care provides people-first service and prevents re-traumatisation.
               Reflection
               Transformation from “care for” to “care with” culture requires strategic planning in structured staff training. Other key
               elements include staff commitment to recovery-oriented practice, standardised peer training and career pathways,
               continuous education to all stakeholders and collaboration work in cross-cluster hospitals with their community partners in
               mental health services.

            Effective Leadership (Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, UK)

            According to the Service Model for Nurse Consultant (Pain Management) (COC(N) Approved Paper 29/2011), the Nurse
            Consultant (NC) should maintain direct clinical service for at least 50% of his/her time including both acute and chronic pain
            service. At the same time, the NC should provide indirect clinical service to achieve excellence in pain management for the   Wednesday, 17 May
            benefits of patients as well as staff well-being. Ultimately NCs should have specialty expertise and professional leadership
            skills that can positively influence the quality of pain management in nurses. Some NCs may find it difficult to understand
            the concept of leadership or consider themselves as leaders during initial appointment, as we were a one-man band before
            taking up this post. The Overseas Corporate Scholarship Programme for Leaders 2015/16  – Leadership offered us a good
            chance to learn and build up leadership competency through visiting the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust in UK.
            This programme covered a wide range of subjects such as managing self, empowering others, supporting wellness, dealing
            with difficult conversation, recognition and motivating others etc., which were packed into the “Royal Free’s License to Lead
            and Manage Programme” and “Leadership Toolkits”. We were arranged to attend the orientation programme, leadership
            forum meetings, seminars and group discussions, to observe their multi-disciplinary team meeting and set up, to shadow key
            personnel, and sometimes supplement with online toolkit. This provided skills and knowledge that enable us to lead, manage
            and coach our team to support and deliver patient care.
