Working alongside a Mental Health Liaison Practitioner you will work across the interface between Primary Care and Mental Health Services to facilitate mental health assessment in primary care and support GPs with joint decision making in relation to secondary care referrals, signposting, and transition of service users from secondary mental health services back to Primary Care. Your expertise will help inform GPs management plans for those with mental health needs in primary care. By providing support, education and problem-solving approaches for adults of working age, you will be an active member of the primary care team with the ability to undertake very short-term interventions for clients with mild to moderate mental health difficulties. This is not a 'case load' role or service, enabling you to be flexible and dynamic in a well-supported autonomous role that will allow experience, decision-making skills and service user focus to thrive and develop.
