Summary
This chapter describes the approach of one mental health service to addressing the needs of inpatients who subsequently developed COVID-19. It describes the methods used to assess the needs of patients, including changes necessary to allow for their physical healthcare as well as their mental healthcare, and the difficulties encountered in ensuring an appropriate balance that protected patients and their healthcarers. The need for ongoing assessment and adaptation of responses and for consideration of long-term impacts is also discussed.
