LON CEN-CO-STH-2023-01049
The post offered is that of a Consultant Psychiatrist in General Adult Psychiatry in the South Camden Recovery & Rehabilitation Team, a community mental health team that treats people with psychotic illnesses. The care pathway applies the recovery model of care. It delivers evidence-based treatments to patients living in the Southern part of Camden – Bloomsbury, Kings Cross and Camden Town. The team is sub-divided into two mini-teams and the post holder will work alongside another consultant. Jointly they will be the clinical leads for the team. There are approximately 600 service users on the caseload at any one time, with 300 patients in each mini-team. The team is based at The Peckwater Resource Centre, 6 Peckwater Street, London NW5
As an applicant for this role, you are urged to demonstrate within your supporting statement a combination of evidence that reflects your competence to meet the job specification and provide examples of how C&I values are an integral part of the way you have and will continue to deliver service.
This is a substantive position for 10 Programmed Activities: 7.5 Direct Clinical Care and 2.5 Supporting Professional Activities.
The South Camden Recovery Team is part of the care pathway for patients in HoNOS care clusters 11, 12 and 13, i.e., patients with psychotic illnesses. The care pathway applies the recovery model of care. It delivers evidence-based treatments to patients living in the Southern part of Camden – Bloomsbury, Kings Cross and Camden Town. The post holder will work alongside another consultant within the team. There are approximately 450 service users on the caseload at any one time, with 225 patients in each consultant. Out of these, the post holder will have a medical-only out-patient caseload of approximately 80 - 100 patients shared with the Higher Trainee and GP Trainee – whose work they will supervise. The average team member caseload is currently 23 cases per worker.
C&I has worked closely with current service users and Trust staff to create a set of shared values that make sure people who use the Trust’s services get the best possible chance of a rapid recovery. These values are embedded in the campaign: Changing Lives – will help drive up the standards of care across the Trust. For people who use the C&I‘s services, these values meant that they can be assured that through their journey to recovery they will be guaranteed:
• To receive a warm welcome through their journey to recovery
• That their dignity will always be respected
• That their care will be founded on compassion and kindness
• To receive a positive approach to care as they journey towards recovery
• High Quality Care from a highly trained team of professionals
• That each individual will be part of the wider team in the journey to recovery –
i.e. ‘no decision about you, without you’.
C&I staff are required to reflect these values throughout their service at the Trust both:
• for people who use the services of the Trust, AND
• within their immediate teams and across the wider business of C&I.
As an applicant for this role, you are urged to demonstrate within your supporting statement a combination of evidence that reflects your competence to meet the job specification and provide examples of how C&I values are an integral part of the way you have and will continue to deliver service.
The direct clinical care sessions will include: assessing new referrals to the team; reviewing patients and advising on their care; contributing to risk assessment and management; helping to manage crises; conducting medication reviews; participating in CPA reviews; and providing Consultant input into the team meetings.
The South Camden R&R Team is an innovative service with a strong focus on continuing service development, Quality Improvement, and conducting service evaluation and research. The post holder will be expected to support and contribute to these activities. The service is part of a wider programme in the trust aimed at reducing the health inequalities for people with severe mental illnesses.
Camden and Islington has very strong academic links with the academic unit at UCL. There is a tradition of the Trust producing high quality research in the area of service delivery. The post-holder will be encouraged and supported to pursue any research interests, with the support of their academic colleagues in the UCL Department of Mental Health Sciences. Camden is a vibrant and busy Central London borough with a rich mix of cultures and ethnic groups and a diverse urban geography from Bloomsbury to Hampstead.
