The post-holder will act as clinical lead for the multi-disciplinary team (MDT), working in close collaboration with the ward manager and other senior clinicians in the team. The ward is a female only psychiatric ward for patients aged 18 years and above. It serves all of North Central London so whilst patients will be primarily from Enfield, some will be from Barnet or Haringey and on occasion from Camden or Islington. The ward provides assessment and treatment for patients that present in the acute phase of a mental illness. Acute presentations cover the whole spectrum of diagnoses, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar affective disorder, depressive and anxiety disorder and severe personality disorders. These are often complicated by physical comorbidities and substance misuse. Some patients may have treatment resistant psychosis including severe negative symptoms and often require prescription of complex medication regimes or ECT which is currently available at Chase Farm Hospital
