Complete complex risk assessments and refer/signpost to other appropriate services where needed (e.g. Alzheimer’s Society, Social Services etc).

Participate in the wider North West CMHTOP duty rota.

Attend relevant clinical/business meetings.

To act as support and specialist advisor to other services such as General Practitioners, primary care teams, Community Mental Health Teams for Older People and care home services.

To attend and prepare reports for MDT meetings and to assist teams in understanding how best to engage with people who have dementia and complex behaviours that challenge.

Ensure the safe delivery of oral medications to clients in care home settings in such a way that corresponds to Trust guidelines and policies.
