This is an exciting new post of General Practitioner with a special interest in Neurodevelopmental disorders for the Neurodevelopmental pathway where 10 sessions are available. The post was developed to help support this pathway, secondary to an increase in referrals of patients with neurodevelopmental conditions primarily ADHD and ASD. These multidisciplinary pathways for the assessment, diagnosis and management of children and young people with ADHD and ASD are supported in conjunction with nursing and psychology colleagues.
Main duties of the job
The initial psychiatry appointment will be to make the formal diagnosis of ADHD after the previous assessment in which an ADHD diagnosis was felt to be indicative. Management options will be discussed and could include signposting to a post-diagnostic service, discussing and commencing ADHD medication and/or managing co-morbidities. Medication would be monitored in follow-up clinic with physical health/side effect monitoring. After stabilisation, patients would be followed up in the nurse-led ADHD clinic. Consultation for the ADHD clinic nurses would be required on a regular basis.
The successful candidate will join other team members in contributing to the ASD care pathway. The candidate will be supported in developing expertise in assessing and diagnosing children and young people with ASD.
* The post holders will not have any out of hours responsibilities.
* The successful candidate will be expected to accumulate their own outpatient load from new referrals and help out with known patients in outpatients, and pick up ongoing patient management through the team as appropriate.
* The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the bio-psychosocial model of care with the other members of the multi-disciplinary team. This includes history taking, mental state examination of all patients and the physical examination of outpatients where appropriate.
