These are pivotal roles working across primary and specialist services within an integrated community mental health model. In Nottingham and Nottinghamshire there are 23 PCNs with a variety of different sizes, patient populations and mental health priorities. During 2021, each PCN will have at least one mental health practitioner providing a named clinician for the GP practices within that locality. The posts will be co-located within Hucknall's Byron PCN and be responsible for providing specialist mental health care and interventions to patients within the PCN using high level assessment to understand needs, treatment options, refer appropriately and co-ordinate the patient’s journey across the health, social care and voluntary sector system, regardless of care setting. It’s essential that these posts forge close working relationships with a range of professionals both within the PCN and local Mental Health Trust to enable comprehensive and patient centred care plans to be developed and delivered.
