The problem was that many physicians and physiotherapists were not employed by any specific unit and therefore did not attend unit staff meetings.
I ended up attending this unit daily for two months instead of school.
There are also concerns that children attending the unit could receive inadequate care and that some of its equipment is sub-standard.
Having senior managers regularly attending her unit's weekly meetings was however both useful and motivating, says newly qualified social worker Sam Betts.
By the time anyone noticed there was something seriously wrong with me, I had gone mad, taken an overdose, gone mad again and was over the worst of it upon attending the unit.
Patients attending this unit are referred from all parts of the country.
All patients attending the unit during the study period were considered for enrollment.
Children attending the unit for in- or out-patient care and their parents/carers are supported by a range of HCPs with expertise in managing CKD stages 3 5.
Each client attending our unit receives a standardized documentation of data including socio-demographic data, developmental and crime history, psychiatric diagnoses, and offense characteristics.
During a 10-day period alternating mornings and afternoons (August-September, 2007) all registered persons aged 18 years and older, able to read Portuguese, with no dementia, acute psychosis or mental retardation attending this unit were invited to participate.
A majority of the units (n = 5) that did not have a surveillance programme (five parent hospitals and two satellite units) had >60 patients attending their units.
