CMHT- Community Mental Health Team - Older Adults service
Every service user referred to with a non-urgent referral for assessment is seen within 14 days, in line with the regional CQUIN indicator two.
96% of our staff have received training in all mandatory areas such as information governance, health and safety and fire procedure.
We fully meet the requirements of the seven day follow up following an individual’s discharge.
We help to support good communication and understanding of service user needs by utilising key tools such as the Portrait of a Life (a Trust e-learning tool).
