The Liaison Psychiatry Service provides a 24 hour, 7 day a week in and out of hours comprehensive service to patients, clinicians and carers at the local District General Hospital (DGH). This includes specialist mental health assessment and intervention to people of all ages from the age of 18 who present or, are admitted to the DGH. We provide a specialist consultation-liaison service to referring clinicians and clinical teams, assisting them in decision making in difficult and complex cases, and providing both formal and informal education to qualified and unqualified staff, and offer a broad range of specialist psychosocial treatments for individual inpatients. Staff within the service are also representing the Devon Partnership Trust in the general hospital setting and will play a vital role in communicating and maintaining a good working relationship between the two organisations. Through consultation, assessment and interventions, the Liaison Psychiatry Service aims to - Arrive at a formulation which will identify the correct care pathway and ensure this is implemented Improve the quality of mental health care for all patients Improve quality of life for both patients and carers Identify and manage risk Reduce the length of stay in the general hospital Prevent hospital admissions Reduce the number of incidents and complaints Measure improvements of health outcomes Determine service needs A key aim of the service is to contribute to the acute care pathway, ensuring that those persons who present to the DGH receive a timely specialist mental health assessment by a specialist mental health worker.
