"Approved mental health professional" is defined in s114 as:

(a) in relation to acting on behalf of a local social services authority whose area is in England, a person approved under subsection (1) above by any local social services authority whose area is in England, and
(b) in relation to acting on behalf of a local social services authority whose area is in Wales, a person approved under that subsection by any local social services authority whose area is in Wales.

The obvious difference with the old Approved Social Worker is that the AMHP need not be a social worker.
