Contracted practitioners

In order to protect the interests of clients and to create and open and collaborative working environment for our practitioners, The Soke operates under a contract model that does not rely on a remuneration-per-client basis. This enables the team to focus solely on the needs of those who come under their care, without the necessity to consider their own interests in tandem with the client’s recommended treatment pathway.

Multi-disciplinary team meetings

The Soke’s multi-disciplinary team meet daily to share best practice, take advantage of the colleagues’ expertise and cross-refer to condition-specific specialists, when appropriate. It is at this point that complex cases can be escalated to the supervision of a consultant psychiatrist, if needed. The daily meeting is also attended by a member of the Client Services Team who represents the client viewpoint whilst also ensuring that a clinical record of each meeting is maintained for governance purposes.

Clinical oversight

The Soke’s clear Governance Structure creates a system of accountability and ownership within our divisions of practice: Children & Families, Adults, Schools, Corporates. Each division and its Head of Department works under the supervision of a Consultant Psychiatrist who manages Clinical Risk, supervised by a Clinical Board, in turn reporting to the Management Board, regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
