This is more than just a role; it's an opportunity to shape the future of mental health services in Cornwall. As we embark on an exciting journey of transformation, you'll play a pivotal role in developing and implementing a new 'core model' of mental health care, emphasising a stronger interface with primary care.
In this dynamic community-based position, you'll find the perfect balance of clinical responsibilities and the chance to influence service development. Whether you're passionate about pioneering new ways of working, interested in teaching, or considering research, we encourage you to bring your vision to life with us.

Main Duties of the Job
In this role, you will collaborate with fellow Consultant colleagues to provide comprehensive mental health services across the East of Cornwall based in Liskeard. This area is covered by one Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) with a full time and a part time consultant psychiatrist.
You will provide support for local general practice surgeries with outpatient clinics held in Liskeard and other outreach locations within the area.
As a Consultant, you will offer clinical leadership within the team, focusing on the patients you personally engage with. Care coordination is not part of your responsibilities.
