“The Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) role is complex and unique among the tasks of social workers and other mental health professionals. The AMHP acts as an autonomous professional rather than an agent of their employees, whether this be a local authority or an NHS Trust. An AMHP makes independent decisions based on the evidence they have gathered and observations they have made during a Mental Health Act assessment.
The AMHP role is challenging and requires resilience, but don’t let this put you off. The skills you already have as a qualified social worker, in addition to the AMHP training will provide you with the skills required to undertake this role effectively.
It is both an opportunity and a privilege to be a practicing AMHP”.
