NHS Practitioner Health (PH)
The NHS PH is a National (England wide) service for Doctors, dentists and health and care staff with mental health and addiction issues which may be affecting their ability to work safely and effectively or return to work. The PH service also covers health and care staff located in Scotland through an agreement with Scottish government. The service aims to deliver positive outcomes in relation to -
improvement in mental health and social functioning
numbers returning to work/retraining
reduction in risk to patients and the public
reduction in regulatory involvement
NHS Practitioner Health will improve access to mental health support for health and care staff who may be suffering from mental ill-health including stress and burnout. The NHS Practitioner Health will support retaining practitioners as part of the NHS England plan to retain a healthy and resilient workforce, in addition to supporting practitioners who wish to return to clinical practice after a period of ill health.
The service will provide online and telephone support and offers a hybrid approach for staff to be seen for face to face/virtual assessment, treatment, therapeutic interventions, and ongoing case management. Each region has a Clinical Lead with a responsibility to act as a local champion and with a network of clinicians and therapists delivering care and support across the geographical area.
PH practitioner patients will come from different gender, age and ethnicity groups. Around 80% of patients accessing PH are expected to have a mental health concern, around 20% to have issues that relate to substance misuse. In our experience this balance will change as the service develops. A proportion of our patients will be involved in regulatory processes, although we will offer support to help resolve issues before a patient safety incident or complaint has occurred.
Please wait...this will take a moment...
