Explain the collaborative-care plan and the CAMHS partnership to a family — OSCE

OSCE communication station: explaining collaborative care, the stepped plan, shared medication management, consent and information-sharing, the care coordinator role, and the acute-risk safety-net, framed without blame for a family whose earlier referral was lost.

Prompt
Parents of a 14-year-old with two months of low mood, declining school attendance and a recent superficial self-laceration, frustrated because a CAMHS referral six months ago was never taken up; they ask what 'collaborative care' means, who is in charge, whether their daughter will need medication, and what happens if things get worse.

Candidate instructions

Explain what collaborative care means in plain language, who leads the team, how the plan is stepped and tracked, how medication would be shared if needed, how consent and information-sharing work across the clinic, school and CAMHS, and what the family should do if risk rises — while acknowledging that the earlier lost referral was a systems failure you are now designing around. The examiner plays a parent. [1] [2]
