You will provide holistic care with an emphasis on medical assessment and diagnosis, pharmacological treatment and medicines management, support and consultation in the management of complex patients in collaboration with the Inpatient and Crisis Teams as part of the multi-disciplinary care of patients. You will be focused on the most complex cases and will also be available to provide consultation and advice to other team members.

The older adult service line is well established within the Trust and there is a clear pathway for patients. The In-Reach Home Treatment Team adheres to national benchmarks for fidelity of care in Crisis services. This includes diagnosing well and supporting people to maintain well in their community.

The In-Reach Home Treatment Team acts as the gate-keepers for Functional mental health beds and most admissions are facilitated through this team. Bed occupancy and length of stay have all been positively affected by the development of this team. The team also works proactively to support early discharge.
