Main duties of the job
Our services are specialised to help diagnose dementia as early as possible, so we can support you to remain as healthy as possible while living with the illness. We can also provide advice and support if a family member of someone you look after has dementia. Our services can also support you with a range of moderate to severe mental health problems, such as depression, bi‑polar disorder, delirium, and severe anxiety. Some of our services are based in community buildings and clinics, but we also have the specialist wards and units located on hospital sites.
Close co‑working with colleagues from the community services is essential to guarantee that patients are safely and effectively treated, and that discharge from hospital is followed by prompt and reliable community support. The consultant in this post will have a part to play, with others, in ensuring that the transitions from community treatment to hospital care and back again are safe and seamless as far as possible.
