Long-term Feedback
POST Fellows are
asked to rate the usefulness of their POST placement 6 months after
returning home. Here are some of their comments:
"This POST
Program is a very helpful for our mental health service. For
example: Our directors and managers (also including our staff and
health workers) have been changed their views and understandings
about Community Mental Health". Psychiatrist, Mongolia (6 weeks,
Community Psychiatry)
"Actually, we have
multidisciplinary team working for a long time but it seems each
team do their works separately. Since we arranged our
multidisciplinary team working system, we do our work in
multidisciplinary system more obviously and more congruently."
Psychiatrist, Thailand (4 weeks, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry)
"I had never learnt formally Community Psychiatry.
After the program, I learnt much about community psychiatry and the
ways of delivering community services. More importantly, I had
attained the formal training in this area and it brought me the
legitimacy of being a leader of the outreach teams. Overall, the
hospital will be benefited from the works of these outreach teams."
Psychiatric nurse, Hong Kong (2 weeks, Community
Psychiatry)
"I learnt the critical approach is
dealing with diversity of different types of psychiatric
consultation especially crisis like suicide/violence."
Psychiatric nurse, Hong Kong (4 weeks, Consultation Liaison
Psychiatry)
"Modelled from the Residential
Support Programme of St George’s Hospital, and together with the
advice from my colleagues and seniors, I have helped to write up a
project named “Assertive Community Intervention for Acute
Psychogeriatric Patients (ACIPG) of NTEC” which provide home-based
treatment for elderly with difficult and challenging behaviours
living at home or residential homes. Psychiatrist, Hong Kong, (2
weeks, Aged Psychiatry)
