PSW Network Conference AMHP Workforce Plan – National AMHP Service Standards 5 th July 2019 Robert Lewis - AMHP Service Manager, Devon County Council and member of AMHP Leads Steering Group Karen Linde - Lead for Social Work for Better Mental Health (SWfBMH)
AMHP service context • 152 LAs in England, 22 LAs in Wales with responsibility to provide AMHPs • Estimated 3,900 AMHPs, no national register, no full-time equivalency figure (65% have combined roles) • 142,000 MHA assessments per year and climbing (2016/17) • 64,000 detentions and climbing (2015/16) • Useful workforce and demand surveys in recent years, there are no minimum data sets. Demand and activity is hidden nationally • Diversification of AMHP service arrangements/ways of organising social work service
What is an AMHP service? • The CQC review (2018) noted that there was no single definition of an AMHP service and the lack of over-arching AMHP service standards • There had been some recent guidance to DASSs and Trusts around what supports they should be offering AMHPs, but generalised to the AMHP rather than the development of AMHP ‘service’. • AMHP literature focussed on role and stress. Minimal (but growing) research into AMHPs and AMHP services and organisational factors in effectiveness • Diversity of AMHP service delivery models in a wide range of organisational structures developed in response to a variety of pressures/influences – rather than proactively to achieve effectiveness
Models of AMHP Service Delivery Three main forms 1) Traditional (or “disparate AMHP rota” - the Masked AMHP) AMHPs providing a duty cover service, while primarily holding other roles. AMHPs based in different diagnostic/service- user teams, potentially picking up the ‘off - duty’ AMHP work. AMHP Leads. Local AMHP forums Decreasing as a form Strengths AMHP cohort will likely come from a broad base of current experience, often sat directly with MDT colleagues. Provides workers with an additional specialism/role on top of case carrying Weaknesses Professional isolation. Inflexible at times of peak demand role conflict/resource demands. Leads are not managers
