At least 2 years experience in statutory Mental Health Services in the community, At least 2 years experience at Band 6 level (or equivalent).
The ARRS project has been running for about two years now, and its been an enormous success patients are happy with the service, GP colleagues are happy as mental health needs are dealt with in primary carer more efficiently and the ARRS Mental Health Practitioners who like the role really like it, but equally its not for everyone.
