An exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitably qualified individual to join our established and highly energetic dual diagnosis team in Enfield, as a Dual Diagnosis Senior Practitioner on a substantive appointment basis.
The Dual Diagnosis Network in North London NHS Foundation Trust is at the forefront of delivering Tier 3 care for people with co-occurring mental health and substance misuse issues. The care and management of Dual Diagnosis patients within NHS is becoming an increasingly important specialty in its own right and DDN is developing high quality, clinically effective services for this exceptionally vulnerable group of patients currently in the London Boroughs of Haringey and Enfield.
DDN is a beacon service operating under a Hub and Spoke Model, being fully integrated within Trust Mental Health services, whilst at the same time fostering strong partnerships with non‑statutory substance misuse services in the Trust and other external organisations. Another important role of the service is the design and delivery of dual diagnosis training to other Trust and external organisations, to help build on staff awareness, skill set, clinical practice and ethos in delivering quality care services to patients with concomitant substance misuse and mental health problems.
North London NHS Foundation Trust is committed to improving mental health care across North London to deliver excellent services to our local people.
