| Popis: | SUMMARYManaging isolation protocols for distressed, cognitively impaired COVID-19-positive patients presented a range of new challenges to our liaison psychiatry for the elderly service. In this article we present some of the scenarios we have experienced, our own reflections on the needs of this specific group and how this has challenged us in terms of tolerating risk, prescribing off-label, collaborating with distressed colleagues, professional boundaries and being creative in non-pharmacological interventions. |
