Oxford University Hospitals offers a remarkable opportunity to excel in the field of Psychological Medicine. The award-winning Psychological Medicine Centre provides an innovative, fully-integrated approach to meeting psychological and psychiatric needs within medical and surgical specialties and across the lifespan. Our psychiatrists and psychologists work as members of medical and surgical teams. As well as seeing patients and families in the inpatient and outpatient settings, they support their colleagues to deliver holistic, biopsychosocial care for all the Trust's patients.

Main duties of the job
The specialty area for this post will be predominantly in maternity services, but there is scope to work in other areas our service covers in parallel to maternity, and in due course other specialties too. The appointee will work alongside a large number of psychiatrists and psychologists, who are integrated into medical teams across the Trust.
This is a Trust appointment with a base at the John Radcliffe Hospital site.
The appointment is on a whole-time basis. However applications are welcome from those who wish to job share. Any person who is unable for personal reasons to work full-time will also be considered eligible to apply for the post. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis in consultation with the clinical lead and consultant colleagues.
This post would suit a psychiatrist with a CCT in adult psychiatry or a dual CCT in adult and old age psychiatry and experience of working in an acute hospital setting. An endorsement in liaison psychiatry is not essential.
Senior trainees in the final months of their training are eligible to apply.
