Job description Job responsibilities
Primary Care Plus (PCP) provides a specialist mental health liaison service to primary care. The service has four core aims:
Assessments and referrals management Relapse prevention and shared care Health Promotion Education, training and consultation Assessments & referrals management
The PCP Team provides a single point of access for all referrals to Oxleas Secondary Care Mental Health Services and general adult psychiatrist, from primary care (GPs and IAPT).
Urgent referrals will be telephone triaged the same day and if needed will receive a same day face to face assessment from PCP or our crisis service. Routine referrals will be triaged within 2 weeks.
New referrals will then be directed to the appropriate treatment pathway including psychosis, ADAPT and Early Intervention.
If PCP receives referrals for other directorates these will be sign-posted accordingly i.e. Older Adults and Memory services to have their full assessment and treatment. All tele-triage and face-to-face assessments are complaint with the Care Act 2015.
Relapse Prevention & Shared Care
For people who have previously been under Oxleas services, PCP aims to support primary care to maintain people in remission or with stable optimally controlled symptoms and develop good self-management skills.
PCP has a link worker for every GP practice, who will be accessible and provide liaison support between primary and secondary care.
PCP prevents relapses by quickly re-engaging people who drop out of treatment. PCP provides early access to specialist mental health practitioners as soon as early warning signs of relapse occur.
PCP psychiatrists will support GPs to manage complex medication regime sometimes over the telephone and provide advice and oversight for issues such as off-license prescribing, monitoring, and input into the updating of shared care prescribing guidelines.
The CMHTs offer psychological consultations for people who are not willing or able to access treatment pathways (for example for personality disorder), and help GPs formulate a care plan for that person.
Health Promotion
PCP promotes physical health by offering brief interventions, signposting and linking in with other services.
PCP provides information, advice and guidance as required by the Care Act (2015) including signposting, and support to access resources; e.g. financial advice services, accommodation, leisure and educational resources.
Education Training & Consultation
Consultant Psychiatrists are available by phone to GPs during their primary care consultations with patients, offering real time advice and guidance via Consultant Connect.
PCP will be in the forefront of the Primary Care Network developments, providing education and training to GPs about mental health.
