Research summary
The current research aims to develop an in-depth understanding of the factors involved in team formulations and how the process of team formulation is experienced from the perspectives of multiple staff members involved in multi-disciplinary forensic inpatient teams. It is hoped that gaining multiple perspectives from the same teams will enable the study to develop understanding of the components that comprise team formulation.
Participants will be staff members who work in a low or medium secure forensic
inpatient service and have been involved in a team formulation in the past 12 months. Individual semi-structured interviews will be carried out and a Thematic Analysis will be conducted on the interview data. The interview will consider how staff members experienced the processes involved in the team formulation.REC name
