The NHS Foundation Trust support children and young people’s mental health through their schools projects across Somerset, and their child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS). For adults, we offer a range of community-based mental health services. For those with more serious health needs, our community mental health teams offer specialist care to support recovery. Patients who require intensive, daily support and who may otherwise be likely to be admitted to in-patient care are seen in our home treatment service.
WHAT IS THE DEPARTMENT & TEAM LIKE?
The Community Older Persons Mental Health Service is divided into four Teams, and there is also a Central County Wide Memory Assessment service (which undertakes much of the MAS work) and also a County Wide Intensive Dementia Support Service IDSS (which acts as a Crisis/Home Treatment Team for those with Dementia). The community mental health teams and memory services provide psychiatric community care to patients over the age of 65. There is also a much smaller group of patients under 65 years of age, with primary dementias who are also cared for by the older adults’ community mental health team.
There is an emphasis on members of the CMHT seeing the majority of initial assessments with a day time duty rota dealing with urgent referrals. This helps to minimise consultant emergency work and keeps their individual community caseload at a manageable size. There are approximately 200 CMHT referrals each year, and approx. 150 Memory Assessment Service referrals in Exmoor and Minehead. With the increase in primary care diagnosis of dementia the number of memory assessment service referrals is expected to reduce.
The post holder will provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment of mental health needs of community patients in their community area, and work closely with the community teams to provide effective multidisciplinary collaborative care: this will include availability for consultation, regularly attending team meetings and providing case discussion and advice at the request of team members and / or team managers.

WHAT IS THE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST LIKE?
The NHS Foundation Trust, created in 2002 by a merger between three NHS Trusts, is one of the largest trusts in the UK. They care for people with a wide range of physical and mental health needs. They have approximately 7,000 staff that provide healthcare to a third of London\'s population and across wider geographical areas, including Milton Keynes, Kent, Surrey and Hampshire.
The NHS Foundation Trust is passionate about delivering first-class patient-centered, safe and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, in a community clinic or in the patient’s own home. Patients are at the heart of everything they do. They provide NHS services throughout a person’s life, in physical and mental health and everything in between, at GPs and hospitals to the community. The majority of their services are provided in the community, which means treating people in their homes or from clinics close to home. In this sense they are a very modern part of the NHS, something the new Long Term Plan wants to see more of, with better integration and coordination of care, delivered as close to home as possible.
The NHS Foundation Trust provide top quality care depends on their ability to employ the best people.

WHAT IS THE DEPARTMENT & TEAM LIKE?
The Team is a group of determined doctors that is based at one of the NHS Trust\'s hospital. The inpatient teams are managed by the ward managers and deputies. The department is very much focused in providing efficient and high-quality inpatient care and in developing and embedding service improvement. The successful candidate will be joining a team that works closely together in a supportive and collaborative manner, and have close links with our community teams to ensure that they provide high quality, safe and effective care. The Consultants have their own office in the administrative area of the hospital with IT access.
The Mental Health Unit has 4 acute admissions wards, each with 17 beds, except for one of the wards that has 16 beds. Admissions are from the local CMHTs, HTTs or Psychiatric liaison services; all admissions are gatekept by HTT. Current bed occupation is at approximately 90-95% but the Trust has a bed occupancy project to reduce this to 85% over the next 12 months. On average 75% of admissions are under the Mental Health Act, with an average of 4 admissions per week. This results in Tribunals and Managers Hearing on average fortnightly. The team therefore works closely with bed managers and HTT to ensure that there is appropriate throughput through the service.
The post holder will have principal duties to provide clinical care to the residents in their covered areas admitted to the ward. The post holder will provide joint leadership with the ward manager, for the performance culture of the ward, ensuring best practice is employed across the ward, and that the Trust’s quality and productivity targets are met. The post holder will be expected to participate in Quality Improvement and service evaluation projects and will be encouraged to undertake any research which may be relevant to either short or long-term service improvement.
