Mental Health Response Vehicle & FPCC Clinical Lead - C9327-24-1353
Gloucester
Job summary
The MHRRV pilot was intended as a forerunner to mental health ambulances, as the NHS Long Term Plan (LTP) priority stipulates the requirement for these from 2024. The pilot also reflected the national commitment to partnership working between police and NHS in the response to mental health incidents. The Right Care, Right Person (RCRP) national partnership agreement, published in July 2023, describes the strategic ambition for police to be less involved in responses to these incidents where possible and a move towards a more health-based emergency response to Mental Health Crises in the Community.
Concurrently the Mental Health First Point of Contact Service operated by GHC is undergoing a significant stage of progression with expansion in hours of operation and development of the NHS 111 service for Mental Health and Urgent Care Crisis Telephone line.
The Clinical Lead role is a rotational post requiring the postholder to work on the MHRRVproviding a timely face to face response for people who may be experiencing a mental health crisis, improving patient outcomes and experience.
The other rotational aspect of the Role also requires the Clinical Lead to act as a visible and approachable Mental Health expert practitioner at the FPCC providing expert clinical advice, support, supervision and guidance to staff delivering the Mental Health Crisis telephone service.
