Perinatal Mental Health Services: Recommendations for the provision of services for childbearing women. September 2021). Applicants who are interested in a less than full time role are welcome to apply.
The Trust is committed to high quality teaching and training for medical students, post graduate trainees in psychiatry, specialty doctors, students and other professionals.
