While individual clinicians within the team have responsibility for the clinical care they deliver, the consultant shares with the team manager and other team members responsibility for ensuring the care delivered by the team is safe and of a good standard. This includes participating in systems of audit and clinical governance, working to resolve problems on their own initiative, and where necessary drawing any concerns they have been unable to resolve themselves to the attention of the team manager and others.

South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS trust has a reach history well established community links and an international reputation. We provide a full range of local mental health services to the Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton and Wandsworth London boroughs as well as specialist forensic mental health services including specialised services such as national deaf adults and CAMHS inpatients and OCD.

The Consultant will run outpatient clinics, conduct home visits, attend CMHT-GP liaison meetings, and be available to review patients who have care coordinators when appropriate. A thorough knowledge of, and ability to deliver high quality clinical community psychiatry is essential, but immediate knowledge of local resources whilst desirable, is not essential as many decisions can be made within MDT meetings or in collaboration with allied professionals within the team, where a broader knowledge of local services can be shared.
