Mental Health Practitioner-GP Practices - Minehead, United Kingdom - Somerset NHS Foundation Trust
Description
Job summary
Join our dynamic team at West Somerset Primary Care Network and step into a rewarding role covering surgeries in Minehead, Williton, Dunster, and Dulverton.
You'll be based at the bustling Neighbourhood hub in Williton Community Hospital, alongside the Clinical Director, PCN Manager, and a dedicated healthcare team.
As part of your role you will be directly involved in assessing patients referred from Primary Care (this will include adults of working age and older adults), followed by identifying and facilitating appropriate support/treatment for them. For most people this will mean remaining within Primary Care - supported either by the Primary Care Liaison for brief psychological interventions, the Open Mental Health Alliance or by Talking Therapies. For some, with more complex needs, it will involve facilitating a smooth transfer into Somerset Foundation Trust Secondary Mental Health services.
Our healthcare team includes the PCN pharmacy team, social prescribing team (Care Coordinators, Village Agents and Health Coaches) and 'Living Better' complex care teams- including a Complex Care GP and a team of Complex Care Nurses and District Nurses.
We can provide a healthy prescription of humour, beautiful scenery and sea air, so why not come and meet the team and consider applying?
Main duties of the job
In this role, you'll play a vital part in guiding assessment, formulation, and treatment planning for individuals with mental health concerns. This includes developing comprehensive formulations and and assisting other practitioners in primary and secondary care to develop formulations as appropriate in relation to their caseload. You'll also facilitate liaison between primary and secondary care services, building relationships with GPs and other healthcare professionals.
Additionally, you'll participate in multidisciplinary collaborations across both primary and secondary care settings and promote best practices in positive risk management.
We ensure that carers' needs are prioritised, with thorough assessments and appropriate interventions or referrals provided based on individual needs.
At West Somerset Primary Care Network, collaboration is key. We hold regular MDT meetings and streamline referrals through our single point of access, ensuring efficiency and seamless coordination of care. Our PCN also hosts frequent wellbeing and development days, prioritising the growth and support of our team members.
As part of our commitment to your ongoing development, you'll have access to a range of training opportunities, formal monthly supervision sessions, and an annual appraisal to track your progress and celebrate your achievements.
About us
As an organisation, the NHS offers a wide range of benefits including flexible working, pension contributions, market leading annual leave allowance, continuing professional development and regular informal conversations around career progression, annual recognition awards to celebrate and recognise our colleagues achievements throughout the year and not to mention our Blue Light Card and NHS exclusive discounts.
We work hard to make sure that inclusion is part of everything we do. We know that true inclusion means we're able to provide the best care for our patients and provide a fulfilling career for all our colleagues.
