Job description

Job responsibilities

The model of care is broadly as below:

- New referrals to the team (if accepted) are offered a new patient assessment with an ANP or medic. A CT head may be requested following this assessment if one has not already been requested by the GP.

- A follow up appointment will then be planned for the purpose of confirming the diagnosis, if appropriate, and once any pending CT scan is completed

- If suitable for treatment then this will be commenced by the team and the patient is monitored by the titration team nurses who will review the response to any medication changes and, once stable, a further review is completed at 6 months. Subsequently a shared care request is sent to the GP.

- Once a shared care agreement is in place then the patient is reviewed by an assistant practitioner every 6-12 months

- If a patient is in a care home then ongoing follow up would be completed by the care home liaison team for 6-12 month review

In the case of more complex memory referrals with higher level of risk or unsettled presentations then the process would be the same as above but the patient would be allocated a CPN. The CPN would then complete the follow up reviews for titration of memory medications and regular outpatient clinic appointment reviews with a medic would be offered.

For functional referrals, patients tend to be seen by medics and then followed up via outpatient clinic for as long as treatment and monitoring is required. Patients may also be allocated a CPN and can be discharged back to primary care if remaining settled on maintenance treatment.

Post diagnostic support is currently commissioned to be provided locally by the Alzheimers Society.

The post holder would be expected to work on Rio which is the Trusts electronic health record system, training for this will be provided on induction. The post holder would be required to record clinical activity accurately and comprehensively in a timely fashion. The post holder would undertake an annual appraisal, CPD and maintain professional registration with General Medical Council and abide by its professional codes of conduct. It is essential that the post holder has Mental Health Act Section 12(2) status which is integral to having Approved Clinician status. The post holder would participate in annual job plan review with the Clinical Director taking into account servicer configuration and delivery associated with modernisation. The post holder would work with local colleagues and managers ensuring efficient running of the services and also comply with the Trusts agreed policies, procedures, standing orders and financial instructions.
