Staffing in the Hillingdon Urgent Care Team includes– consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist (1.0 WTE) which is this post, team lead (1.0), clinical nurse specialist (3.0), assistant psychologist (1.0) and an administrator (1.0). The Urgent Care Team provides assessments at the Emergency Department and to the paediatric ward and medical wards (for 16- and 17-year olds) at Hillingdon Hospital as well as 7 day follow up appointments for Hillingdon patients discharged from acute hospitals. On average the team sees 30 new cases/month. They are seen by the clinical nurse specialists (or another mental health professional) and discussed with the team at the first instance and, if required, discussed with the consultant psychiatrist. The cases are currently not kept on the caseload but either transferred to another team/service for further input or discharged to primary care. Once the urgent care outreach service (UCOS for crisis work) is developed, it is expected that the team will carry a maximum caseload of 10 active cases at any one time.
The direct clinical care consultant caseload is expected to vary between 10-20 cases, combined between liaison and crisis aspects of the service. However, the consultant is not expected to provide direct case management.
