Approved mental health professional
（重定向自AMHP）
The role of approved social worker, or ASW, has now been replaced by that of approved mental health professional, or AMHP, in England and Wales.
The 2007 amendment of the Mental Health Act 1983 abolished the professional role of the approved social worker and created that of the approved mental health professional. This role is broadly similar to the role of the approved social worker but is distinguished in no longer being the exclusive preserve of social workers. It can be undertaken by other professionals including community psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists and psychologists after receiving appropriate training.
