The psychiatric nurse in charge (Psych NIC) is responsible for ensuring all those who present to the ED with an acute mental health need, receive timely and appropriate care, in the right place, at the right time, by the right person.

The PNIC will be expected to actively identify and triage those presenting to the ED with an urgent or emergent need for mental health care, psychological support and/ or those with substance misuse problems. Working alongside the ED team they try to ensure appropriate medical clearance wherever appropriate.

Main duties of the job

The Psych NIC will:

• be based on the emergency floor for much of the shift providing direct formal and informal support to the ED teams and visiting agencies.

• Offering face to face support directing referrals from the emergency floor to the most appropriate assessment pathway i.e. via the front door triage model, direct to the PLN's for full assessment or determining if further medical assessments need to be completed inline with our parallel assessment protocol.
• Work alongside the enhanced care team (ECT) in making decisions about enhanced observations for mental health patients.
• Act as part of the ED response team for patients detained on S136 or police referrals, and work to ensure timely throughput in department in line with the GSTT CODE10 protocol.
• Work alongside ED triage teams to evaluate fitness for assessment, and support visible parallel working. (see parallel working protocol)
• Through use of the front door triage model and from being visible and approachable able assist referrers in signposting to other services - including UCC, GP, IAPT etc.

• Assist the PLN assessment team working as the Psychiatric Nurse in Charge.
• Take a lead role within the liaison service, providing support and guidance within the service but also within their specialist lead area. i.e. safeguarding etc.
• provide clinical supervision with the band 6 (assessing) psychiatric liaison nursing team.

About us
