- Assess new routine referrals (where indicated) from other agencies alongside other clinicians, provide consultations to non-medical clinicians and offer ongoing management for patients requiring longer term care.
- Work collaboratively with other agencies, in particular with liaison with staff from other teams to manage smooth and timely transfer into and out of the CMHT.
- Contribute to the collection of data as required by the Trust and other relevant agencies. This includes the timely recording of clinical activity data, and participation in clinical audit with appropriate administrative support.
