• Work collaboratively with colleagues and service leaders to agree and implement dual diagnosis plans that address the development and sustenance of high quality practice within the service, including structures that would help embed performance reporting into service monitoring systems.
• Work with colleagues to implement harm minimisation measures that ensure safe environments; minimising substance use on Trust premises and potential harms for service users, visitors, and staff.
• To carry a small, specialised caseload, when required, of clients with complex dual diagnosis disorders including clients presenting with high levels of risk and co-morbidity.
• To consider development of dual diagnosis champions in their role development, the development of the dual diagnosis group work initiative and the development of policy and practice within their host wards.
• To provide specialised dual diagnosis assessments of referred patients, based on appropriate use, interpretation and integration of complex information from a variety of sources, including general assessment, self-report measures, rating scales and semi-structured interviews with clients, family members and others involved in the client’s care.
• To develop highly specialised formulations and advice for referred clients, based on an appropriate conceptual framework of the client’s problems and drawing upon extensive theoretical knowledge of different explanatory psychological and psychiatric models and specialist expertise in the implementation of evidence-based practice.
