Crynodeb
Day-to-Day the successful applicant will beemployed by the Trust (BHFT), butbased within GP surgeries, seeing primary carepatientsand working on primary care systems,but with a specific mental health focus.
That being so, patients coming into primary care with mental health difficulties – rather than having a 10-minute appointment with a GP – will have a15-30 minuteappointment with a seniorMental Health Practitioner (Nurse, SocialWorkeror Occupational Therapist).
Although the successful applicantwon’tbe doing 40 appointments per day like a GP does, these are stillvery busyroles in fast-paced environments. Most ARRSMental Health practitionerssee 14 patientson a normal day. Equally, there is no caseload, nor CPAs, nor funding applications for packages of care, nor management responsibilities – so the ancillary tasksthat come with secondary care roles are certainly less.
The ARRS project has been running for about two years now, and it’s been an enormous success–patients are happy with the service, GP colleagues are happy as mental health needs are dealt with in primary carer more efficiently – and theARRS Mental Health Practitioners who like the role really like it, but equally it’s not for everyone. If you really enjoy patient contact and fast-paced work, thiswouldsuit you down to the ground, but obviously with that comes less flexibility around things like home-working, working hours, managing your own diary etc.
As above, day-to-day the successful applicant will be physically based within GP surgeries. Each Primary Care Network (PCN) has about 4 GP surgeries, and ARRS workers usually spend a day in all the surgeries on rotation.
Your clinics, like GPs’ clinics, are populated bySurgery receptionists. Appointments are split betweeninitialappointments (generally 30mins) and follow-ups (15 mins).Key tasks involve mental state examinations, liaising with secondary servicesand Talking Therapies, making onward referrals.
Ifyou’rea Non-Medical Prescriber and/or have an ‘Advanced History Taking’ qualification, that would be ideal (but is not necessary). Respectively these would enable you toinitiatefirst-line pharmacological treatments for Anxiety and Depression (the most common presentations in primary care;and ascribeformal diagnoses.
Most applicantsdon’thave these qualifications, which isabsolutely fine, but it means a little bit more GPcontact/oversight isrequiredwhen it comes toinitiatingand monitoring treatments in Primary Care.
You’llhave access to all the same training and CPD materials and opportunities as any other clinician involved in the trust, and your line manager and clinical supervisor will be based within BHFT.
