Mental Health Primary Care Practitioner – Hammersmith & Fulham
Band 7
An exciting opportunity for qualified nurses, OT’s, social workers and Clinical/Counselling psychologists to work at the heart of primary care delivering mental health support in conjunction with mental health services.
West London NHS Trust is transforming our community mental health services as an early implementer nationally. As part of this, we are rolling out a new and integrated place based model of community and primary mental health care services in line with the ambitions in the NHS Long Term Plan. We are aiming to work with General Practice by developing enhanced relationships with our local Primary Care Networks (PCNs) GP practices, and this bridging role will be key in ensuring that individuals have access to high quality mental health support throughout the pathway. Through this work, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a new and innovative role of integrated Mental Health Practitioners within each Primary Care Network working across primary care and the mental health trust. We are currently seeking someone to work specifically with South Fulham PCN.
The remit of this role holder will be to:
• Work with patients within Primary Care whose needs cannot be met by the IAPT service;
• Help the patient identify their needs and make shared decisions about self-management;
• Offer brief evidence-based interventions where appropriate (where these needs cannot be facilitated by IAPT);
• Liaise and work with other Primary Care colleagues within the PCN to address patients’ needs;
• Make onward referrals to local MINT or other treatment teams where a multi-disciplinary mental health approach is indicated, e.g. patients with complex needs or who may require a period of specialist mental health care to help them to address more acute mental health needs;
• Provide consultation, triage, and advice to GPs and other PCN colleagues about options for mental health treatment (supported by the local MINT team, who will also provide specialist supervision);
• Support the development of confidence within the PCN around addressing mental health needs through attendance of key meetings and delivery of identified training and support to other PCN practitioners;
• Act as a bridging role between the PCN and the local MINT team
