The Central CMHT provides expert secondary mental health
care to adults over the age of 18 who live in the central part of York and
surrounding area. This part of York also serves the university populations. The
locality has recently moved from GP allocated services to post code allocated
services and there are further plans to align our services with the Primary
Care Home model. The other parts of the city are covered by the North CMHT
based in York at Huntington House; the west team based at Acomb Garth in York
and the South Team, based at Worsley Court in Selby. Our colleagues in the
older persons CMHTs provide care for older adults (typically over 70, although
the age boundary is flexible depending on need).
The team is multi-disciplinary, utilising the expertise of
doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists, social workers and
support workers. There is access to the dietetics team, physical health team
and pharmacy.

clinical work are that the post holder will provide consultant input in line
with the principles of New Ways of Working. The core clinical work will involve

Due to the nature of the post,
should the postholder not have the required MHA approvals in place at the point
of them starting in post, a local arrangement will be made with a local
consultant colleague for AC/S12 work.
Core work in this setting will
involve 3 clinics with 2 follow up and 1 new clinic. On average, there is 1 new
and 6 follow up patients per week.
