Why? Allows Partnership onset with right clinician with the right skills Frees family and clinician to make good use of session as encourages curiosity Allow families and adolescents to feel more open (user feedback) Engagement with their change not with clinician and Helps capacity management!!
How does it help with Capacity? Separating the Choice from the Partnership work allows Choice activity to be based on referral rate Partnership activity to be based on reasonable job plans This means that Staff are happy to flex Choice (as no follow-up work burden) Low risk of overload as Partnership activity rates set (and do-able) Can use staff who are leaving by moving their capacity into Choice
