MM-SOP-A-082 - Adult Community Learning Disability Team Daily Triage Pathway
MID MERSEY DIVISION
This guidance is intended to specify the processes followed by Adult Learning Disability Teams within Mid Mersey Division. Having a consistent and explicit Triage pathway supports the timely processing of referrals and access to services. In some localities, Triage may be referred to as Duty and the Triage Practitioner as the Duty Practitioner.
The guidance sets out the procedures for operating the daily Triage system; the predominant purpose of this system is to screen referrals and queries to the team at the first point of contact with our service. This is to facilitate a timely response to the specialist health care needs of individuals with a Learning Disability.

During the COVID-19 outbreak the Trust took the decision to suspend the routine review of policy documents, although changes were made when necessary. Users are asked to note that the review date on any policy document is advisory and that all policy documents remain live / valid whilst they remain on the Trust’s website. The routine review of policies has now been resumed by the Trust in a prioritised manner.
Readers are asked to note that when reading policy documents if they come across the job title ‘Chief Operating Officer’, this should now be read as ‘Directors of Operations / Divisional Director’
