A scheme which aims to help people experiencing a mental health crisis avoid being sectioned or admitted to A&E has been extended to Stockport and Rochdale. Mental health professionals, police and ambulance staff in the two boroughs have joined forces to improve care for people aged over 16 who find themselves in a crisis situation.
Under the initiative a police officer and a mental health clinician from Pennine Care will jointly attend incidents, with the service operating between 5pm and 1am, seven days a week. Bosses say the aim is to make sure people quickly receive the right support, in the right place, which is ‘vital for their recovery and ensuring a positive experience’.
Clinicians will assess patients at the scene and consider whether alternative community-based care options may be appropriate. Admission to A and E or a secure Section 136 suite (place of safety) will remain a ‘last resort for those who really need it’.

Caroline McCann, Pennine Care’s associate director for the Rochdale borough said, said: “Rochdale is the birthplace of co-operation, so it’s apt we’ve established such a valuable partnership with our police and ambulance colleagues. It’s a significant step forward in making sure the right support is available at the earliest point and in familiar surroundings, which is how we can make the most difference.
“My colleague Hayley and I covered the first shift on Monday night. It was a great experience and valuable to see things from the police’s point of view. We were really looked after, and it was rewarding see first-hand the positive difference it can make to people’s lives."
