The consultant psychiatrist will provide senior medical input and clinical leadership to the Crisis team. The post holder will have responsibility for those patients seen by himself/herself, together with those patients seen by medical staff directly supervised by the post holder.
The Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT) became operational in January 2020. The service consists of a home treatment team and focuses on enabling early discharge from inpatient care. The team also establish close working relationships with the inpatient wards and community teams, including the Inpatient Social Work service and the Patient Flow Transformation lead. Capacity is for up to 25 service users in line with CORE CRT Fidelity scale of not more than 25 cases per 14 full time equivalent clinical staff. The available capacity is regularly communicated across the system. The current medical provision is one FTE consultant psychiatrist and one FTE specialty doctor.
The CRHTT provide crisis response and inpatient gate-keeping and a home treatment service to service users leaving inpatient care and living within South Bucks. There will be a phased approach to future expansion which will be dependent on further new investment. The nature and speed of phasing will also take account of CRHTT model fidelity and assessment of safety and quality in relation to existing service provision (i.e. whatever is developed will have good fit and add value to user / care experience).
The CRHTT work from 7am until 9pm. On each long day shift cover there will be 5 Band 6’s with input from band 3 and band 4 nurse associates and OT’s and on the early shift there will be 6 band 6’s with similar support as the long day shift. The Clinical Team Leader and Team Secretary work predominantly Monday to Friday 9-5; however, the Team Leader is also work flexibly to provide leadership outside of these times. The Clinical Team Leader is managed by the Mental Health Urgent Care Team Manager.
