Clinical Risk e-Learning

Clinical risk describes the potential for service users to harm themselves or others; or for them to be harmed by others. In mental health, the identification and assessment of clinical risk is an inevitable and essential aspect of service user care.

Clinical risk assessment involves collecting detailed information in order to identify these risks. Clinical risk management involves developing flexible strategies aimed at preventing or minimising these risks.
