The trust serves a population of 1.2 million and operates services from five main inpatient sites and a further 25 sites in the community. Specialist services include regional forensic, eating disorders and adolescent inpatient services and a national stalking service.
In 2014 they were awarded 'University Affiliated’ status, which facilitates stronger working relations, including the opportunity for experienced academics and experienced clinicians within the Trust to coproduce mental health education and research projects which meet the needs of local people. This agreement enhances the current partnership between the two organisations, demonstrating a strong commitment to education, research and development.
WHAT IS THE INPATIENT WARD & TEAM LIKE?
The ward is a mixed gender acute psychiatric ward with 18 beds. The ward provides assessment and treatment for patients who cannot be safely managed in the community by the Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment Teams. This includes a significant number of patients detained on Sections 2 and 3 of the Mental Health Act.
The Team is a close-knit group of 30 colleagues, mostly holding substantive posts, which meet regularly in formal and informal meetings. Whilst several CPD peer groups have formed within the trust, the consultants are also encouraged to seek peer groups outside the organization as an opportunity to network and share experience with colleagues from other services. A monthly Balint-Group for consultants is facilitated by the Consultant Medical Psychotherapist and gives opportunity to conduct in-depth case based discussions (CbD) required for annual appraisals and revalidation.
The post-holder is expected to be actively involved in all aspects of service development of the department and the wider organization. The postholder is expected to formulate treatment plans and oversee implementation and evaluation of these treatment plans and contribute to management of patient flow with a view to manage bed capacity effectively and avoid delayed transfers of care.
