Specialist Grade Psychiatrist for Adult Community
The Trust is seeking a Specialist Grade Psychiatrist to join the Great Yarmouth and Waveney Adult Community Team based at Lowestoft.
The Trust is seeking a Specialist Grade Doctor to join the Adult Community Learning Disability Team. The post carries no responsibility for inpatients.
The post holder will work closely with other colleagues working in other specialties. The post holder will also work closely with the Inpatient provision (based at Astley Court and managed by Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Trust), General Practitioners, and other community-based teams. The team at Astley Court also provides an Enhanced Assessment & Treatment Service who work alongside the team to provide intensive support to those individuals most at risk.
The team receives on average 10 referrals per month predominantly from local GP surgeries. Referrals are initially received through the single point of referral (Access & Assessment Team). Assessments are then carried out by senior clinical staff from whichever discipline is deemed most appropriate. Afterwards, they may seek the views of the consultant or request a medical review if appropriate.
