- Ensure that the requirements of the Mental Health Act 1983 (Amended 2007) – (MHA) are met and that patient’s rights under the Act are upheld.
- Early intervention and prevention are the key focus for the AMHP role, and it is anticipated that you will interchange between the AMHP hub and integrated CMHT’s as needed.
- The Hub will respond to all assessments that are received from the hospitals, police and those service users who are not known to the integrated services. They will also respond to the demands felt in the integrated teams to respond to MHA assessments. The working hours of the hub will need to be flexible, and a rota will be in operation.
- AMHPs working in the integrated teams will carry a caseload and care co-ordinator responsibilities. Caseloads will be allocated on the basis that a person is deteriorating or have a long relationship with the MHA to enable staff to promote early intervention and prevention. It is expected that all MHA assessments requested in your own team will be prioritised and planned within your working week.
