- People with SMI who are eligible for an annual health check, medication review and improved access to physical health interventions.

You will
- Provide a combined consultation, advice, triage and liaison function, informed by NICE guidance within the primary care setting
- Support an access function for people, ensuring swift and seamless access to the most appropriate care pathway and onward access to mental health services
- Develop and implement mental health clinics based on the needs of the PCN
- Directly support GP’s with the management of more complex mental health presentations and linking with secondary care mental health services as appropriate
- Support people presenting in crisis, assessing clinical risk, and providing short term interventions, where possible, to manage the crisis, link into mental health support networks and promote self-management
- Provide a link role between neighbourhood primary care services and secondary care mental health services for complex cases and issues
- Identify training and education needs for PCN teams in relation to mental health practice and support the development of mental health training as required.
