Overview
The Adult Forensic Service at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has an opportunity for Consultant Forensic Psychiatrists to contribute to improving patients’ experiences and to the development of a new model of care.
During the development of the new model of care and while definitive medical job planning is under review, post holders are expected to be the Responsible Clinician for 12–16 male inpatients or 10–12 female inpatients, following their caseload from admission to discharge.
This is an exciting time to join as a Consultant (Forensic) Psychiatrist. The role may be a full-time post within our women’s blended secure service (WBS) or our male medium secure service, with opportunities to shape the future of secure services for both women and men in Greater Manchester.
You will be supported by a multidisciplinary team, including a medical secretary, junior doctors, clinical psychologist, social worker, occupational therapist, and nursing colleagues, with a visiting GP, dentist, and established physical health team to support service users’ physical health.
Alongside inpatient management, additional clinical activities include on-call work, access assessments to the service, and other activities dependent on negotiation with consultant colleagues and our new model of care.
