Risk assessment in psychiatry.
Risk assessment is part of an ongoing process of risk management, involving treatment interventions and reassessments by the multidisciplinary team. It requires monitoring and supervision over a long period, with the level of input varying according to clinical need at the time. Adherence to the principles of good clinical practice avoids most pitfalls in the management of risk.
