Summary
These posts would ideally suit somebody who has previous experience of Psychiatry, or those without but who want to try out Psychiatry prior to CT1 application. The Trust will help appointees with their application for Speciality Training. The Education Programmes are mandatory throughout the Trust. These posts offer an excellent introduction to Psychiatry. Posts are appropriate for CT1-3 trainees
The Consultant body has a variety of special interests and there are many opportunities for the trainees to look into and further expand their knowledge and experience with discussion with their consultant
Core clinical work (consistent with Royal College of Psychiatry requirements)
• The bulk of clinical work will be within a Consultant Led team based at your designated Hospital Site. This is based on Inpatient ward but could also be based in Community mental health teams.
• On-call covers the adult in-patient wards and Older Age Wards (>65’s), and any Specialty Units (Rehabilitation Units etc), as well as working with the liaison team in A&E. All these are in the main hospital site except the Old Age wards which are based at The Meadows.
• The LED post holder will be expected to accumulate their own outpatient load from new referrals and help out with known patients in outpatients and pick up ongoing patient management through the community teams as appropriate.
• The LED is expected to contribute to the bio psychosocial model of care with the other members of the multi-disciplinary team. This includes history taking, mental state examination of all patients and the physical examination of outpatients where appropriate. The treatments may be physical, pharmacological, psychological and social as appropriate. There is a strong emphasis on the recovery model, and as such the trainee will be encouraged to formulate management plans accordingly.
