2 weeks ago
**JOB PURPOSE**
The Medical Officer will be working in Community Alcohol and Drug Teams or other community based alcohol and drug services such as the homeless addiction team or drug treatment and testing order services. He/she will have a clinical caseload and will be providing a comprehensive medical addiction service for those who suffer from problem drug and/or alcohol use. He/she will be supported by other members of the team i.e. nurses, addiction workers, social workers, administrative/clerical staff etc.
**DIMENSIONS**
Glasgow city and Greater Glasgow and Clyde have some of the highest prevalence of problem drug use and alcohol related harm in all of Europe. Reducing harm and promoting recovery for individuals with problem substance use is a key priority to improving the public health and wellbeing of the city and health board. Problem substance use related outcomes are worst in the most deprived communities and, according to the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, the health board area and Glasgow city in particular continues to have the highest concentrations of multiple deprivation in Scotland by some considerable margin. Therefore, providing high quality accessible treatment and care services for problem substance use in this area is an important component of reducing health inequalities.
GGC Alcohol and Drug Services is one of the largest and most dynamic addiction services in Europe. We deliver and commission alcohol and drug services from tier 1 (public health) to 4 (specialist & psychiatric services) across most of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
The system of care is designed to support service users in every aspect of their recovery journey and includes:
- Extensive injecting equipment programme
- Drug Crisis Centre
- Community Care and Treatment (CAT) Teams made up of nursing staff, social care/work staff, non-medical prescribers and medical officers which offer comprehensive health and social care services in the community.
- Glasgow GP Shared Care Service. The largest substitute prescribing service of its type in the UK.
- Inpatient services
- Partial hospitalisation services
- Specialist Drug Court Teams and Drug Testing and Treatment Order services
- Homeless Addiction Team
- Acute Addiction Liaison Services
- Alcohol Related Brain Damage services
- Community and Residential Rehabilitation
Medical staff are either employed as psychiatrists to tier 3 and 4 services or as medical officers and senior medical officers to tier 3 services. There are currently over 30 medical officers (MOs) based predominantly in integrated (health and social care) community CAT teams and 4 senior medical officers (SMOs) in the medical staffing compliment.
MOs and SMOs are involved in treatment and care of individuals with problem substance use (predominantly but not exclusively opiate substitute treatment and alcohol interventions).
