The team expects to receive on average 30 new referrals a week. The referrals can come from the GP, triaged by Mental Health Triage and Assessment Team, and Acute Mental Health Wards It is expected that all team members (apart from the support workers) carry roughly equivalent numbers of cases as care co-ordinators.

The consultant psychiatrist is expected to carry a compact caseload of the most complex and unstable cases but will also be available at short notice to provide consultation and advice to other team members, although they are not required to act as care co-ordinator.
