What this service offers

The care coordinator will be a person's main link in the IDT if they have a care package under the Care Programme Approach (CPA).  They may also talk to other clinicians and administrators as part of their care plan. They will know how to get hold of their care coordinator if they need to, including during times of urgency.   

People have an arranged schedule of contact. For some people this is involves face-to-face or phone contact a few times a week. For others this is a monitoring service with weekly or monthly contact.

Access this service

Most referrals to IDT Bury South come from GPs, through to the Access and Assessment team. Other professional agencies can also refer people.   

Our Access and Assessment teams carry out a full assessment by clinical staff. They will explore a range of health and social care needs. The team can then signpost someone to available resources. The team can also then refer someone into the IDT.   

The IDT team allocates a care coordinator to arrange an individual’s care package. The care coordinator establishes a care plan with the person. The team reviews and adjusts their care plan regularly. This is known as the Care Programme Approach (CPA).   

Bury South IDT accepts referrals for people with complex mental health needs. This includes significant cognitive, emotional and behavioural problems associated with a mental health diagnosis.  

Individuals are likely to present with / as:  

  • Psychosis, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder  

  • Severe depression where the risk, complexity or engagement need treatment by a specialist mental health service 

  • Severe disorders of personality where there is a clear role identified for the community mental health team, and the individual agrees to engage with the service  

  • Longer term severe disorders with poor treatment adherence and increased levels of risk or vulnerability which cannot be managed solely by primary care  

  • Dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance misuse where the mental illness is the primary need, severe and complex in nature  

  • Co-morbid mental illness in people with a neurodevelopmental disorder for treatment of the mental disorder where this is the primary issue  

  • Complex presentations associated with severe mental illness, which impacts a significant risk of self-harm, harm to others, risk of harm from others or serious self-neglect  

How this service support carers including friends and family
