To provide a full secretary service to a specific number of nurses and Medical Staff and to assist in the organisation of the teams workload and service delivery.
General Hospital services exist to meet the physical health needs of the population. However, significant numbers of older people admitted or referred to the general hospital will also have cognitive impairment and/or mental health problems in addition to their physical conditions. Such cognitive impairment and mental health problems in older people can influence care in a number of ways, including:
Increased length of stay
Increased risk of accidents, infection and confusion
Repeated admissions
In addition, under recognition of the causes of common mental health and cognitive problems in older people and the failure to adequately treat and care for problems such as confusion in older patients can contribute to:
Dissatisfaction with care
Patient and Carer complaints
The purpose of the Older Persons Psychiatric Liaison service based within the general hospital, integrated with physical health care is to:
Improve patient safety
Increase the quality of care
Improve patient flow and the appropriate utilisation of resources
Improve staff safety
Ability to plan, organise and prioritise own workload which can be pressured and require a high level of concentration.
- Provide cover/cross cover (e.g. taking telephone messages for colleagues at other bases) in the

absence of other secretarial colleagues as required to maintain a service to patients.
- To deputise for the Service PA during periods of leave/absence.
- To work according to Trust policies and procedures.
- To act as an information resource for other members of the team.
