CPA meetings are generally poorly attended, which can be due to several factors such as time and travelling constraints.  For example, GPs rarely have a chance to participate.  This project investigates whether interactive televisiton (IATV) can make it easier for the key people to attend the CPA meetings.  The project connects an inpatient ward and a community mental health centre.  This allows the Assessment and Brief Treatment (ABT) team to attend the meetings via IATV.  The ABT team is a part of a community mental health team (CMHT) that provides social work, occupational therapy and community psychiatric nursing (CPN) support.  Relatives are also given the opportunity to attend the CPA meetings via IATV in a community mental health centre, which is often closer to them than the inpatient unit.  GPs are also encouraged to attend via IATV in a community mental health centre.
