Psychiatric nurses and police officers are working together on call-outs related to mental health.
Psychiatric nurse Jamie Secker and PC Peter Andrews work together to respond to calls related to mental health issuesPolice officers are spending hours dealing with incidents involving mental health, say forces. In one scheme in Cambridgeshire, psychiatric nurses are working with police on the ground to improve support for those in crisis.
"I still get a little bit nervous because I don't know what we are going to," she says. "Me and these officers are expected to come and make everything right and that feels like quite a lot of pressure." "With my years of experience, I can judge whether it is a mental health case, whether it's someone at risk, or just someone understandably in distress, but don't need us to intervene.
"We do deal with more mental health jobs now, and they are taking up more of our time," the 30-year-old says., police officers can take people in crisis to a place of safety without a warrant. But without a medical practitioner as part of their team, accessing the right NHS services can take time."It puts a lot of strain on us and it means other members of the public who are calling 999 also don't get seen as well, and other immediate jobs don't get covered.
PC Babs Lawrence worked in nursing for the NHS before joining Cambridgeshire Police. Despite the pressure, the 38-year-old says they do cope with the stress.
