The Mental Health Liaison Team (adults) usually has an inpatient caseload of between 25-35 patients at any one time. We receive approximately 2-5 new referrals per day which are shared amongst the team. We also provide input for liaison psychiatry patients at St Bartholomew’s hospital where we usually have about 5-10 patients under our care at any one time. In addition we cover the emergency department which receives around 350 mental health referrals per month.
The post-holder will participate in service evaluation and information-gathering exercises designed to gain a better understanding of the functioning of the service in order to monitor performance and underpin future service developments. The Trust is committed to continuous learning and has invested heavily on Quality Improvement in partnership with the internationally renowned organisation, IHI. Last year the inpatient and community services along with the crisis services were reviewed by CQC as a part of a comprehensive visit and the trust was only largely mental health provider to have obtained overall outstanding rating. The Tower Hamlets Directorate has been a high performing directorate with one of the highest staff engagements in recent national survey.
