The Team works across Sheffield and is split into two teams, one working in the north of the city, and the other in the south.
Referrals are made via Community Mental Health Team or the Liaison Psychiatry Service.
What the service offers
- Intensive home treatment as an alternative to inpatient admission, until the crisis or immediate care and support needs have reduced.
- Referral to other appropriate services
- Collaborative working with other services; as well as with service users, their carers and families.
- Flexible response to service user needs.
- A high level of knowledge of local voluntary, health and social care resources

The Team will arrange to visit the service user within 24 hours of a referral being made. During the initial visit, they will develop a care plan in collaboration with the service user and their carer. The care plan will detail the medical and non-medical interventions which are to be provided during the period of care under the Home Treatment Team, including plans for discharge.
