Locum Consultant Psychiatrist 5PA post

2 months ago

Watford, United Kingdom Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

This post is vacant as the existing post holder has moved into a different post outside the trust. This post involves providing clinical leadership to one of the South-West Community Mental Health Team (based in Watford) providing diagnostic assessments and treatment to service users with severe, complex, and high-risk psychiatric conditions. South-West Community Mental Health Teams cover two borough localities in South West Hertfordshire - Watford and Three Rivers borough locality with a population of around 200,000 is covered by the team based at Colne House in Watford, and Hertsmere borough locality with a population of around 100,000 is covered by the team based at Civic Offices in Borehamwood. This post holder will be based in Colne House in Watford. Clinical work such as outpatient clinics will take place at Colne House but may also take place in another Trust location or other community destinations such as at service user's home, in prison or in police stations.

Main duties of the job

The team expects to receive on average 30-40 new referrals a week. It is expected that all team members (apart from the support workers) carry roughly equivalent numbers of cases as care co-ordinators, between 30 and 35 patients. The consultant psychiatrist is expected to carry a compact caseload of the most complex and unstable cases but will also be available at short notice to provide consultation and advice to other team members, although they are not required to act as care co-ordinator. The consultant has currently 2 patients admitted to inpatient wards and 4 patients on CTO in the community. The team has a caseload of around 1500 service users split between CPA and standard levels of care and the team caseload includes medical outpatient clinic caseload. The post holder will carry an outpatient clinic case load of around 80 service users. The post-holder will work with 1 full time specialty doctor who requires monthly supervision.
