Topic Loop:

Angela’s headaches improve but do not completely settle and she is increasingly anxious about this. The multidisciplinary team discuss it at their weekly meeting.

Staff nurse

Angela isn’t sleeping well and her mood is low.

Occupational therapist

I have assessed Angela’s mood and agree it is low. I think she would benefit from a referral to clinical psychology.

Physiotherapist

Angela is not engaging well in therapy sessions because movement aggravates her headache.
