Mental Health Enhanced Liaison Clinician

Job summary

Main duties of the job

It's a little unpredictable, as you can be called at any time to a crisis situation, we discuss referrals each morning and twice weekly we review the caseloads with our consultant psychiatrist. We complete comprehensive risk assessments for every patient, these can be completed independently although sometimes we discuss more complex patients as a Multi-disciplinary team. The team works hard to provide a fully integrated service for our patients, so it's not just about making sure their needs are catered for while they are in the hospital, but also when they leave. We talk to families and carers, GPs, community mental health teams, social care teams, community nurses, physiotherapists and voluntary organisations, and anyone who is necessary to ensure a full care plan is in place for a patient when they leave hospital, so the support they need at home can start the minute they arrive.
