I currently carry a high caseload of CBT patients, delivering NICE guided CBT practise to those with mental health difficulties such as OCD, GAD, PTSD and depression. I also carry out routine assessments and have a regular duty day that involves screening patients for suitability, carrying out extensive risk assessments and liaising with other services to provide the best and most appropriate care for patients within the area.

Later in my career I became the Step 2 Team Lead, which involved working alongside the senior management and clinical team to run a both clinically affective service along with ensuring good business management and throughput of patients. I continued to provide supervision and implemented line management within the team, as well as performance management, adhering to sickness protocols, leading team meetings and supporting and prioritising mental well-being for staff. I worked closely with other services in which to increase access and awareness to improve the quality of care and efficiency of service.

Alongside seeing a caseload of patients I was the older adults champion lead which meant I connected with local services to increase access and care for older adults with mental health problems. I then took on a secondment position to look at the improvement of group therapies within the service. This involved auditing and research regarding the validity and reliability of different CBT based group approaches and then creating and developing a new and improved group pathway. I then started supervising other PWPs when I gained my qualification in supervision at step 2. This involved case management and clinical supervision.

I worked on a functional older adults mental health ward supporting patients in their recovery and discharge. This included working as part of a multi-disciplinary team to deliver patient-centred care informed by a full formulation and understanding of their needs.
