Report presentation
The Mental health assessment and intervention report should be well planned. For this assessment it is important for you to:

• Outline your introduction clearly and end with a concise conclusion.
• Make sure you justify your report by referring to what was said during the interview.
• Write in complete sentences (i.e. do not use dot points).
• Address the points in Part A as a single section using complete sentences without using sub-headings.
• Use the points in Part B as sub-headings to structure Part B of your report.
• Make sure each sentence only deals with one issue. Keep sentences short, professional and to the point.
• In Part B the "formulation" section provides a summary of the information contained in the previous sub-sections. New information should not be placed in this section. If it is not in the body of a report it should not be in the formulation section.
• Does the client need to be referred to a psychiatrist? Why?
• Pay attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation. It is important to proof read your work before submission.
• Writing style in a report is more formal than verbal speech. Try not to write as you would speak.
• Use simple past tense to describe the patients state at the time of the mental state examination. This emphasizes that the examination findings are specific to the time of conducting the interview.
