Job Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time (10PA's) Consultant Psychiatrist in the Mental Health Access Team. The post holder will be a core member of the Team.
The successful applicant will work alongside a large and enthusiastic service of consultant colleagues working across Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Trust. In addition, the post-holder will have an important role to play in the development and delivery of the Central Cheshire Adult Mental Health psychiatry services across the footprint of Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Trust.
Main Duties of the Job
The role of the consultant is to support the triage and screening of referrals to the team, offering consultation to referrers and member of the team and supporting the process of signposting, referral and discharge from the team.
Screening appointments in the form of face-to-face assessments (in clinic or at home) of those cases which are complex or likely to benefit from medical expertise, and also to provide consultation/supervision to the multidisciplinary team as a whole, as envisaged by New Ways of Working. Close liaison with wider primary care services will be a key part of the role, by contacting GPs directly about patients and by attending regular meetings with local practices to improve the interface with mental health services and enhance the ability of medical colleagues working in primary care.
Whilst clinical sessions will primarily be delivered within the mental health resource centres based in Crewe, Winsford, Ellesmere Port or within the Acute Hospital Trust at Leighton, there may be an occasional need to undertake appointments at other venues including GP surgeries.
