title: The care programme approach: a patient perspective.
abstract: This study explores the attitudes and experiences of one group of patients on the care programme approach living in an outer London borough. There was evidence to suggest that patients were unfamiliar with their treatment programmes and lacked knowledge regarding their care. Further research into patient attitudes to the CPA would be beneficial, since it was not possible to make precise conclusions based on this study.
