Description

Over the past couple of years, people in East and West Suffolk have been working together to improve NHS mental health & emotional wellbeing care, learning disability & autism services in the region and the#averydifferentconversationbegan.

We have used those discussions to plan changes that we think will make things better.

We hope these proposed changes will mean that people in East and West Suffolk will be able to get the help and support in the right place for them, when they need it, to stay mentally and emotionally well.

Now is an exciting time to join NSFT as we launch our transformational Primary Care Network Mental Health Service across the whole of Suffolk.

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are groups of GP practices who work together in a local geographical area. In Suffolk there are 14 PCNs with a variety of different sizes, patient populations and mental health priorities. From 2021, each PCN will have two mental health practitioners working in its practices alongside a multi-disciplinary team. Practitioners can include registered nurses, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Clinical Psychologists.

On a day-to-day basis, PCN Practitioners will work as a member of GP practice extended teams and be based in practices.

We are working jointly with our primary care colleagues and as the PCN's evolve, we will be expected to think about the wider health of their communities, taking a proactive approach to managing population health.

These roles, although new have been piloted in our Early Adopter sites for the past year so the workload is defined, manageable and appropriate to allow for patient centred care and other activities.

We are at the start of a journey which will see services transformed over the next decade.

Interested?

As a PCN practitioner, you will work across the interface between Primary Care and Secondary Mental Health Services as part of a multidisciplinary team providing advice, support, and treatment for members of our community experiencing problems with their mental health and wellbeing.

You will need to have good organizational skills as you will be managing a caseload and the provision of services to people with mental health care needs as well as offering support and advice to other health care professionals.

You will be an autonomous practitioner, making clinical judgements, identifying alternative courses of action, managing and providing a high-quality care.
