Regional kompetansetjeneste for arbeid og psykisk helse

En stor andel av Norges befolkning er på uføretrygd og Norge har verdens høyeste sykefravær. Psykiske lidelser er en av de vanligste årsakene til arbeidsfravær, og den dominerende diagnose for uføretrygd før 45 års alder. Arbeid og aktivitet vil i sum være mer kurativt enn skadelig. Likevel er samarbeidet mellom arbeids- og helsesektoren for tilfeldig.

Kompetansetjenesten har forankring i forskning, rådgivning og formidling og har i hovedsak fire virkeområder:

Bidra med formidling av kunnskap om, og utvikling av, forskning på arbeid og psykisk helse i Helse Nord. Målet er å bidra til etablering av nye strukturelle løsninger for pasientgruppen.

Bidra til nye arbeidsmåter, direkte knyttet til rollen som jobbspesialister gjennom opplæring i individuell jobbstøtte (IPS), samt veiledning og registerbaserte løsninger.

Bidra til å utvikle og drifte regionale nettverk.

Fag og metodeutvikling for innføring av IPS i norsk helsetjeneste, kvalitetskontroll og kvalitetsutvikling av tjenesten.

Kompetansetjenesten i Nordlandssykehuset

Tjenesten er direkte finansiert fra Helse Nord RHF, men Nordlandssykehuset drifter og delfinansierer tjenesten. Vi er en liten tjeneste med få fast ansatte (2,2 stilling) men 13-14 andre tilknyttet i eksternt finansierte stillinger i ulik prosenttilknytning. Ekstern forskningsfinansiering på om lag 30 millioner.

Vi er samlokalisert i et senter sammen med en Helse i arbeid-poliklinikk, og det er flere NAV-ansatte lokalisert i senteret.
