The team continually strives to enhance the experience of patients and is closely linked to Imperial College London both in terms of teaching and research.
You will be joining a well-established multi-disciplinary clinical team. The CIDS offers an ageless service for all patients with a primary dementia and the SOAMHS teams are integrated and work along New Ways of Working providing a specialist service for the assessment and management of mental health needs to patients over 70 who require older people's services as outlined in the Royal College of Psychiatrists document "Age discrimination in mental health services: making equality a reality".
