The Role

The Medical Lead is an important role within the service, providing leadership, coordination and delivery of the prescribing and clinical elements within this integrated substance use service. 

You will be a registered doctor (Speciality or Consultant Psychiatrist) and will have experience in providing support to ensure that we are consistently offering a high quality, clinically excellent, recovery-focused service to people with problematic substance use.

You will provide medical and clinical leadership to the Via Kingston service staff, and clinical supervision to healthcare staff within the service.
