Collaborative Care Team (CCT)
The Collaborative Care Team is not an emergency service and referrals will take an average of 2 weeks for you to receive an appointment.
Usually, the Collaborative Care Team will work with you for 12 weeks but sometimes longer if there are some complex problems.
Once the Collaborative Care Team have gained consent by you it is with the assumption that you would are a willing participant with your personal care management plan.
The Collaborative Care team do not replace any existing visits from other medical services or adult social care provision.
The CCT’s main objective is to prevent hospital admittance and assist you to be able to stay within your own home, by assessing what your personal needs are and refer you to the appropriate services.
The CCT has a wide skills set and many years of professional experience; covering physical and mental health, substance misuse and psychosocial issues.
Every patient referred to the CCT is initially seen by two members of the team, usually in their own home.
