ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This paper examines the introduction and operation of a number of support roles in mental health services. This is done in the context of concerns about the effectiveness of CMHTs.AIMS:
Three questions are addressed the degree to which concern for the work of consultant psychiatrists informed the introduction of the new roles; what the reforms implied for the work of the psychiatrist and those in new roles; and the impact of any changes on the operation of CMHTs.METHOD:
Data were collected as part of a national-level evaluation. The main means of collection was the semi-structured interview.RESULTS:
The study shows that reform was underpinned by concerns about the workload of psychiatrists; and that while in principle the responsibilities of the psychiatrist were to be distributed across other team members, those in new roles felt themselves to be isolated.CONCLUSIONS:
Despite the intentions of policy, the creation of the new roles did little to extend the idea of distributed responsibility in CMHTs.Palavras-chave
