The care home liaison service is a multidisciplinary team of nurses and occupational therapists.The team offers interventions, using a co-ordinated holistic approach that helps care staff develop strategies and build competence and confidence to support residents with mental health needs.
Each care home has a designated community mental health nurse who works directly with the residents (as clinically appropriate) if they are a current service user of the Trust. We can also advise residents, not currently our patients, as to whether a referral to the Trust would be appropriate.
