The support offered by the NMHTs ranges from professional input directly from NMHT staff (similar to the erstwhile Community Mental health teams or CMHTs e.g. for Serious Mental Illness) to those offered within primary care e.g. via ARRS (Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme) Mental Health Practitioners and Primary Care Nurses.
The offer includes access to a multidisciplinary team assessment, brief treatment and longer-term complex care in order to meet peoples’ recovery goals.
This may also include signposting (working closely with voluntary sector partners, local authorities, substance misuse services etc.) and ongoing referrals to specialist mental health services (e.g. Older Adults mental health services, Early Intervention psychosis, Perinatal psychiatry, etc.) or clinics (e.g. for Neurodiversity assessments) or other resources e.g. therapy (e.g. Complex Emotional Needs) or educational or self-help groups (Disordered Eating).
Please take any queries first to the ARRS (Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme) mental health nurse who covers your GP surgery. If the issue needs to be escalated further they will contact the relevant operational lead.
