Case Management Competences: Managing Cognitive Impairment and Mental Well-Being

The importance of these competences in relation to people with long term conditions warranted specific attention and it is intended that this domain should be integrated throughout all of the framework domains.

The aim of this domain is to ensure the community matron or case manager is competent in carrying out a basic assessment of mental health, identifying and assessing deterioration in cognitive function, recognising deterioration in mental well being so as to be able to refer to an appropriate specialist and to coordinate and support the delivery of the appropriate care.
