This citizens section provides access to six case study scenarios, created for us as background material linking to learning activities detailed in the Practice Section of this resource.  The case studies detail provides synthesised citizen information only. The created material was identified through practice and research conducted over a number of years. It is therefore not associated with any single individual person.  Each of the synthesised cases presented provides a background for creating an assessment record or a referral record to different health care actor.
