Job summary

**ADDITIONAL BENEFIT PACKAGE (ts&cs apply)**

**A generous relocation package**

**£10K Retention Pay Premia**

We are seeking to appoint a Consultant Psychiatrist in Mental Health Urgent Care Centre (MHUCC).

This exciting new service falls within the Acute & Unplanned care pathway. It was set up initially as a response to the Covid-19 Coronavirus crisis in early 2020, known as "Diversion Hubs". It helped divert psychiatric patients from A&E and the acute hospitals during a period of intense service pressures and infection risk. Its development was also in part driven by longer term considerations of how to support people more compassionately, when in emergency crisis, who's needs we know are not best met via A&E departments.

Patients will be triaged and transferred to MHUCC from the A&E departments if willing and able. The service will ultimately also accept direct conveyance by LAS, police and walk-in referrals and is open on a 24/7 basis, accepting new referrals at all hours. MHUCC is effectively a 'mental health A&E' providing the 1-hour emergency response for mental health liaison services across the Trust, operating from its base at the Glaxo Building, Lister Hospital, Coreys Mill Lane, Stevenage, Hertfordshire SG1 4AB.
