  8. Commence mood pathway: Yale screen before discharge -Clinical presentation - Monitoring / Observation Question: Does mood appear appropriate to diagnosis? Ongoing monitoring Strand 2 (L1/2) At risk / potential for mood disturbance at time of assessment Strand 1 (L1) Low or no risk / minimal potential for mood disturbance at time of assessment Referral to Clinical Psychology / IAPT / support agencies Clear management programme established Goal setting Further assessment appropriate to area Regular reviews Level 1 Psychological support Level 2 Psychological support • : • *Standard on discharge letter from all stroke services / checklist completed • - Clear identification of mood status • - Recommendations / ongoing management • 6-8/52 Stroke Consultant GP review 6/12 month & annual review

Screening tools used Completed at all stages: • YALE • Observation / clinical presentation • Watchful waiting / monitoring • Further questions re: anxiety / mood if needed • BASDEC risk / suicide question if needed & intent noted Further assessment: • ASU: • DISCS, SADQH-10 (Hospital version), ? Signs of Depression Scale (SDSS) • ESD: • HADS, DISCS, SADQH-10 (Community version), BASDEC, Visual Analogue scale (VAS), Stroke Impact Scale • REHAB UNITS: • HADS, DISCS, SADQH-10 (Hospital version), BASDEC, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Distress Thermometer, Signs of Depression Scale (SDSS)

Positive outcomes • Providing structure to previously informal service • Inclusion within ASU standardised 72 hour monitoring paperwork • ASU exceeding ASI target 40% significantly • ESD / rehab unit screening 100% of patients • Improved handover re: mood issues / management between services / links with Clinical Psychology • Established training package • Increased MDT engagement / changes to MDT perception • Increased patient / carer involvement & self management plans – positive feedback!!!! No negative feedback!!!!! • Increased management plans / goals & confidence of therapy staff with complex case management • Developed links with H & S Network • Improved links with support services • Reduced inappropriate referrals to Clinical Psychology

Lessons learnt • Clinical Psychology an asset! • Evolving process / review ongoing • Need to engage MDT as can fall on therapy staff – Identify key champions!!!! • Establish Training! • Patients / carers welcome opportunity to discuss at ANY stage!!!! HYPERACUTE / ACUTE not too early!!!!!! • Need to change MDT misconceptions re: mood screening • Use targets as levers to stimulate / maintain momentum • Utilise H & S Network • Don’t reinvent the wheel! Utilise SIP website • Provide patients / carers with screens to complete independently • Access voluntary agencies / support services • Review at different stages
