The post holder will need to provide specialist clinical advice, education, support, and supervision to staff at Scunthorpe General Hospital and to junior staff within the Liaison Team, whilst promoting a positive culture and parity of esteem.

  • To determine whether people who present with suicidal behaviours or thinking are safe to be allowed to leave the hospital.
  • To take an active role in ensuring the Team meet the Evidence-Based Treatment Pathway (EBTP) Clock recommended response times for mental health crisis as informed by NICE Guidance, which includes:
    • An urgent and emergency mental health service should respond to the person within one hour of receiving a referral to review and decide on the type of assessment needed and arrange resources for the assessment.
    • Within four hours of arriving in an Emergency Department, it is recommended that the person should have received a full biopsychosocial assessment, have a care plan in place, be en route to their next location or be accepted for follow up care or have been discharged or have started a Mental Health Act Assessment.
    • As well as rapid response to emergency referrals, Liaison Mental Health Services should also provide an urgent care pathway, with a full assessment taking place within 24 hours of referral.
