Acute Services

Our aim is to provide high-quality assessment, care and treatment, helping patients to progress to the least restrictive setting by equipping them with the skills required to live as independently as possible, closer to communities of their choosing.

Our teams are multi-disciplinary, with extensive knowledge, skills and experience of working with services like below and therefore we are looking to speak with Consultant Psychiatrists who have an interest in working within Acute services we have set up that will work alongside our existing PICU services and teams too.

We include patients in planning their care, valuing and embracing each individual's unique qualities.

Our teams use compassion to be inclusive, motivated, open and honest. We are focused on outcomes and value by driving continuous improvements for our patients and treating everyone with equal respect, trust and dignity.

The post-holder will be able to undertake non-clinical activities of interest e.g. research, teaching, governance and management - in an innovative way, and influence the direction of services in order for them to attain the best outcomes for our patients.

You will lead a multi-disciplinary team and oversee the management of patients with often complex needs. You will be able to promote innovation and improvement of services, with scope to develop your specialist interests and grow your remit and responsibilities. You will have an office and the support of an associate specialist as ward doctor and a full MDT including Clinical Administrators and Personal Assistants dedicated to your wards and service.
