The cases are currently not kept on the caseload but either transferred to another team/service for further input or discharged to primary care. Once the urgent care outreach service (UCOS for crisis work) is developed, it is expected that the team will carry a maximum caseload of 10 active cases at any one time.The direct clinical care consultant caseload is expected to vary between 10-20 cases, combined between liaison and crisis aspects of the service.
