Can Positive Behaviour Support be implemented in a primary care setting for the homeless/vulnerably housed?

Abstract

This review is based upon a GP practice working in a city centre providing primary care to the homeless and vulnerably housed within the city. Services include GPs, Nurses, Mental Health Practitioner, Social Prescriber, Addiction Worker, Dentist, Acupunturist, Podiatrist and an administrative team. [...] In looking at the principles of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), it was felt that adoption of this approach within the practice would assist in addressing the identified key needs, as well as generally improving both the patient and staff experience.
