Crynodeb
The Emergency Department at Kingston Hospital, in collaboration with colleagues at South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust has developed an innovative model of care for patients presenting in Mental Health Crisis.
The Mental Health Assessment Unit is co-located with the Emergency Department and accepts patients from A&E who are awaiting psychiatric assessment or onward referral/admission to secondary care mental health services. The unit aims to provide an improved environment and clinical pathways for this patient group by supporting early psychosocial interventions on the principle of a ‘therapeutic wait’
As the dedicated nurse for the unit you will be primarily responsible for the care and safety of the patients within the unit and providing simple and early psychosocial interventions. With the support of the ED Nurse in Charge you will oversee the admissions to the unit from the main A&E department and work in partnership with the Psychiatric Liaison Team to facilitate patients admission to secondary care service or discharge with communicate support.
Patients in the unit may present with mental health problems, self-harm, or as a psychiatric crisis. You will also be expected to work with patients presenting with psychosomatic disorders, as well as a variety of psychological issues related to physical disorders. You will clinically supervise junior staff in the unit, directing their workload and interventions with patients’.
