Richmond Home Treatment team

Adults age 18-75 who are experiencing a mental health crisis or require intensive home-based support and treatment.

This service can support anyone experiencing a Mental Health Crisis including those with an established diagnosis and those without.

Our team is made up of a Consultant Psychiatrist, a nurse manager, an advanced clinical practitioner, nurse practitioners, an occupational therapist, recovery support workers and peer support workers.

• Team Manager : Andy Plumb

• Team Consultant: Dr Francis Monday, Thursday and Friday

• Team Consultant: Dr Haba Tuesday and Wednesday

When someone is first referred to our service, we carry out an initial assessment to assess the individual’s mental health needs and the type of input they need. We then create a care plan which sets out the individual’s recovery goals and how our service will help them work towards these. Depending on the individual’s needs, we provide face to face contact of varying frequency and telephone contact and support.

We are a short-term service for the crisis period only, meaning the length of involvement varies from person to person.
