Workload at HMP Portland & HMP The Verne: The mental health team holds a caseload, and within this caseload, a number of patients are subject to CPA management. All referrals are screened by the mental health team. On occasion, assessments are requested as an emergency from the wings or segregation unit, which occurs on average a couple of times a week.
While there is flexibility in the allocation of individual responsibilities, the overarching model is one of integrated working across the mental health multidisciplinary teams. This post-holder will have their base at HMP Portland and HMP The Verne for the allocated PAs, where the mental health service comprises a full multidisciplinary team, including mental health practitioners, occupational therapists, Recovery workers, and a psychology team, supported by a clinical lead.
