For-AMHP-Intro Digital MHA Assessment setup
Amhp-Single-Mobile

S12 Solutions is an app and website, which helps mental health professionals efficiently complete Mental Health Act 1983 (MHA) processes.

S12 Solutions was founded by Amy Manning, an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) and Best Interest Assessor, who was frustrated with the inefficient paper processes that routinely delayed MHA assessments, increasing distress and risk for the person waiting, and leading to AMHPs working long hours in stressful conditions.

Through her research with AMHPs around the country, Amy learned that this was a national problem; convinced technology could help, Amy developed an app and website that connected AMHPs with local, available section 12 (s.12) doctors.

How do I check which version of the S12 Solutions app I am using?
  • Login to the S12 Solutions app
  • Click on the Support option on the right-hand side of the app Menu
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the page
  • Beneath Version History you will see the words App Version followed by a series of numbers, for example: 2.4.14
  • This number will update every time a new version of the app is published via the App Store or Play Store. You are likely to see this number update when substantial changes are made to the app; smaller updates will not prompt this number to update
  • Updates are an important part of keeping all apps running well and older versions of all apps will be prone to problems over time. If you contact the Support Team about a problem, one of the first questions they will ask you is which version of the app you have on your phone
  • Please contact our Support Team if you have any questions about versions or updates: 0808 168 0160 / support@s12solutions.com

I am trying to create a claim but I cannot find the patient's GP practice

A patient’s GP practice is the information that should be used to identify the CCG accountable for paying a doctor’s claim, where this information is available. Please keep the following information in mind when searching for the GP practice:

  • A GP practice can operate as a single surgery or multiple surgeries
  • If a GP practice operates as a single surgery, the surgery and GP practice will have the same name and address
  • If a GP practice has multiple surgeries, there is usually a main surgery that shares its name and address with the GP practice; other branch surgeries will have their own names and addresses

It is often the case that AMHPs may know the name of a branch surgery without realising that the GP practice it is linked to has a different name and address; as such, the surgery name that AMHPs input may not return a result.

We have provided a few different ways of looking for a GP practice if the name you know cannot be found:

  • Initiate the Create Claim process and tap into the GP practice field
  • GP practice is the default search option
  • Type the name you know into the Search bar
  • If this does not return any results, tap into the GP Branch Surgery option to select it and retype the name you know into the Search bar
  • If that option does not work either, tap into Name or Postcode and type the name you know or the surgery’s postcode into the Search bar

Our system uses NHS Digital’s Organisation Data Service to match GP practices with CCGs. If you cannot find the right result, there are a few formatting elements you can edit to help make sure that that way you have written your surgery name matches NHS Digital’s format:

  • Add or remove ‘The’ from the start of your search
  • Add or remove apostrophes, eg Mary’s or Marys
  • Add or remove punctuation, eg St. or St without a full stop

If you have tried all of these suggestions and still cannot find what you are looking for, please contact our Support Team: 0808 168 0160 / support@s12solutions.com

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve been using the service now for well over two months and have made new contacts with various doctors in my local area. I can honestly say S12 is by far, the best AMHP app available in England.
