Bracknell, United Kingdom Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

As part of our services across Frimley Integrated Care system (ICS), we are excited to be able to implement Mental Health Practitioner roles across the Primary Care Network to support GPs with ‘on the day’ Mental Health assessment and support for patients. These are new roles designated under the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme for Primary Care (ARRS).

The roles will provide an opportunity for better joint working across primary care and adult secondary care mental health systems and will make it easier for patients to obtain the help they need.

This is an exciting role for someone who is proactive and passionate about innovation and providing a high-quality holistic approach to the care of people who have been identified as in need of mental health support in a primary care setting.

- To offer brief interventions e.g. problem solving, decision making, building resilience, building on personal strengths, risk de-escalation, medication advice and prescribing if a registered NMP
- To provide a navigation role to help GPs make appropriate referrals to the relevant community and secondary care services - bridging the gap between primary care services such as IAPT and secondary care, working in partnership across the system.
