Job Overview
The post holder will be Consultant Psychiatrist to the Greenwich West Intensive Case Management for Psychosis Team (ICMp) with Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. This is a well-established post that has been filled by a locum for the past few years. The vacancy has arisen as the former substantive consultant moved to a different role within the Trust.
The post holder will carry no responsibility for inpatients but will be part of the bed management strategy within the Community Mental Health (CMH) Directorate. The Directorate takes a whole-system approach to bed management with meetings between community and inpatient clinicians to ensure that beds are used efficiently.
Main Duties of the Job
The post holder will be responsible for the care and treatment of patients receiving high-level and complex mental health care within the team. This will involve attending multi-disciplinary team meetings, case discussion meetings, and weekly referrals meetings.
The post holder will be expected to attend zoning meetings at least twice a week to prioritize contacts with patients, especially those deteriorating and presenting with increasing risk. The post holder will support the team in developing robust crisis plans for these patients.
The post holder will chair review meetings, offer crisis appointments to patients in the red zone, and provide home visits and telephone advice to general practitioners and other professionals involved with the care of service users on the caseload.
