Summary
PWPs do this through the provision of information and support for evidence-based low-intensity psychological interventions. These interventions place a greater emphasis on patient self-management and are less burdensome then traditional psychological treatments. Examples include guided self-help which may be delivered through face-to-face or telephone sessions, and computerised cognitive behavioural therapy. PWPs workers are expected to operate in a stepped care, high volume environment carrying a significant number of active cases at any one time, with workers having a minimum of 25 hours clinical contact per week. Low-intensity workers also provide information on common pharmacological treatments and support patients in decisions which optimise their use of such treatments. The post holder will make a vital contribution to the overall delivery of psychological therapy services. The post offers an opportunity for the post holder to develop an area of specialist clinical expertise. In this post the post holder will have the opportunity to take a lead on developing and delivering a large group psycho-educational community based psychological wellbeing workshop/life skills programme, thus increasing access to evidence based psychological interventions across Tower Hamlets community. Development opportunities are available to co-facilitate psych-educational group programmes in HI CBT and Psychology and Health teams.
