The post holder is expected to clerk patients in on admissions and perform the physical health checks and monitoring.

The post holder will also be responsible for co-ordinating the weekly ward round with a visiting Care of the Elderly Consultant to ensure medical issues are dealt with swiftly.

When opportunities arise for other acute mental health practice or outpatient clinics with the supervising consultant, the post holder will have opportunities to develop further roles. Further, they are expected to communicate patients’ progress and outcome of their inpatient stay or outpatient reviews including writing to GPs.

The Mental Health service will fully support your continuous professional development (CPD), by ensuring you are able to attend local teaching (MDT, Grand round etc) and supporting your external development by sponsoring appropriate external courses and conferences.
