The post consist of 10 PAs to lead and provide liaison psychiatry services to both the acute wards at the Royal Alexandra Hospital and the local care homes within Renfrewshire HSCP. There is an Adult Psychiatry liaison team who cover self-harm assessments and the Emergency Department at the RAH regardless of the age of the patient, referring on where appropriate.

The post-holder will be supported by an experienced liaison mental health team with experienced, established nursing staff, appropriate medical secretary time and a speciality grade doctor. The department gets two or three junior doctors per rotation. Junior doctors are strongly encouraged to spend time in liaison psychiatry and the postholder would have excellent teaching opportunities for junior medical staff. The post also intermittently has clinical development fellow input with fellows doing placements for one or two years duration.

There are a total of 5 older adult consultants in the Renfrewshire HSCP department (including this post: a total of 4.6 WTE) and the successful applicant would be expected to work closely with colleagues to provide a full range of services. There are 2 WTE specialty doctors in the department. Renfrewshire sits in the wider context of Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board and there are frequent links with colleagues in adjoining HSCPs for purposes of teaching, training and service development.

There is an established Intensive Home Treatment Team and access to the Mental Health Assessment Unit for emergency (same day) presentations and older adults with a primary functional illness have access to crisis services via the Intensive Home Treatment Team which is consultant led. There is a large community mental health team with excellent nursing and social work leadership. The community mental health team and social services work together in the same offices following an integrated approach which improves patient care. Urgent community presentations can obtain timely psychiatric assessment by nursing staff and there is a daily duty nursing system in place. There is excellent leadership by the nursing management. There is also a specialty doctor dedicated to the community who has sessions to provide flexibility and quick responses for urgent community presentations.

All newly qualified Consultants are initially offered a minimum of 1 Core Supporting Professional Activity (SPA) which includes CPD, audit, clinical governance, appraisal, revalidation, job planning and management meetings. This will be reviewed within 6 months (or earlier if required) of appointment and revised upwards if additional responsibilities are agreed.
