NHS Forth Valley: Where exceptional Psychiatrists can flourish and really feel at home.
In NHS Forth Valley, we know the radical and transformational difference Psychiatrists make to the lives of their patients. This is why we have developed, and will always strive to maintain a system that allows them to do this work. We passionately believe in joined-up, holistic care across the whole patient journey. Our dynamic Consultant workforce is able to become effective leaders that can drive through positive changes.
We are in an exciting place with regards to Older Adult Psychiatry in Forth Valley. Within the next 3 years, we aim to evidence that we have the best mental health services in Scotland. To support this goal, our board recently invested in new Consultant posts, making us the best resourced board for Older Adult Psychiatry Consultants in the country. This will not only future-proof our service against the increasing demands of dementia but also allow our Consultants sufficient SPA time to get all parts of our service accredited according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists Centre for Quality Improvement Accreditation Standards.
Our current vacancy is within our Inpatient Unit for Older Adults, providing specialist assessment for those acutely unwell and at risk of harm within Forth Valley in a timely manner.
From day one, we help all new Consultant Psychiatrists in Forth Valley embark on a journey to develop into the best doctor they can be. We hope and expect that those we employ are keen to gain extra SPA time for teaching, training, patient safety, and service improvement work.
Forth Valley offers an unrivalled quality of life in an area of outstanding natural beauty, including Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Historic Stirling, ‘the gateway to the Highlands’, has local state schools that consistently feature in the top 20 national league tables.
