Band 6 Primary Care Liaison Nurse - Kingswood Civic Centre

at  Avon Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust

The Primary Care Liaison Team provide rapid access to credible mental health expertise for GPs, Primary care staff and other referring agents requiring support and specialist mental health advice. This ensures that patients in primary care have their mental health needs more clearly assessed, defined, cared for, treated by Primary care professionals supporting pathways to best meet someones holistic, and individualised needs. For most people this will mean remaining within primary care services, supported by the Primary Care Liaison team where needed, but for some, this will mean identifying a smooth transfer of care into the most appropriate service based on clinical assessment, risk assessment and individualised needs. This pathway and transition of care may consider a more intensive home treatment approach with The Intensive Support Team, or a stepped up care approach provided by secondary mental health services
