Approved Mental Health Professional
3 months ago
Approved Mental Health Professionals work on behalf of local authorities to carry out a variety of functions under the Mental Health Act 1983 (as amended 2007). The AMHP role is a complex one and requires the ability to exercise the appropriate use of independence, authority and autonomy. It is also unique in that the AMHP is acting as an autonomous professional rather than as an agent of the Local Authority. As such whilst they can be tasked to consider a Mental Health Act assessment, they are solely responsible for decision-making in the use of formal powers.
They need significant experience in mental health law to undertake their duties, and lead, consider and co-ordinate Mental Health Act assessments in a variety of situations. The role is governed by both Social Work National standards and the AMHP Regulations and is a statutory function of the Local Authority.1 1. Consider all referrals determined by the Mental Health Act (MHA) 1983 and as amended 2007, lead and co-ordinate assessments in a timely manner. This includes requests for Mental Health Act assessments and associated work in a range of locations including amongst others, the community, a patients own home, hospital, s136 suites.
2. Contribute to an effective and responsive AMHP service. This may require the post holder to consider and lead more than one assessment request at a time, when it is safe to do so 3. Work within the guiding principles of the MHA, the Code of Practice, Mental Health Regulations, Tribunals Guidance, Social Supervision Guidance plus associated Case Law and as an autonomous decision-maker within the AMHP HUB, within the local authority procedures and with the support, supervision and guidance of the AMHP Lead.
5. Interview the patient in an appropriate manner as defined by legislation, ensuring they are fully aware of their rights. 6. Identify and consult with the patients nearest relative, ensuring they are fully aware of their rights and responsibilities under the Act.
9. Prepare Social Circumstance Reports and give evidence and professional opinion to Managers Hearings/ Tribunals as required. 10. Provide social supervision to conditionally discharged forensic patients and prepare risk management reports for the Ministry of Justice.
This includes the management of risk and the use of recall to hospital. 11. Establish and develop collaborative working with allied health and social care professionals within the professional remit of the AMHP role. 12.
Maintain accurate and timely records including the AMHP Report and case recording. 13. Keep up-to-date with research, develop and disseminate greater understanding of evidence based practice, providing professional assistance and guidance to colleagues within the council and other agencies as appropriate.
