The consultant will work closely with the ward manager to ensure that patients receive optimal care and that the Trust's quality standards are consistently met.
Key Responsibilities
The inpatient unit comprises three general adult wards, which accommodate both voluntary and detained patients. Each ward is designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals experiencing acute mental health challenges.
Our wards have a strong focus on multidisciplinary assessment and treatment, utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches to address mental health issues. Treatment strategies include both pharmacological and psychological interventions, delivered within a secure setting.

Our organizational culture emphasizes teamwork, equity, and the importance of making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.
Responsibilities of the Role

The consultant will also engage in business meetings to provide clinical insights on matters affecting the ward, maintaining an understanding of the directorate's priorities related to patient safety and care effectiveness.
Regular one-on-one meetings with the ward manager will be conducted to ensure effective communication and collaboration.
The consultant will oversee the appropriate allocation of medical resources to meet the needs of service users and ensure adequate supervision of trainees and junior medical staff.
