Speciality Doctor in Addiction Psychiatry
NHS Lanarkshire
This post is intended to provide the specialist clinical and professional skills of a Specialty Doctor in the area of Addiction Psychiatry, supported by a Consultant Psychiatrist and Specialist Doctor in Addiction Psychiatry. The post-holder is expected to be an independent and autonomous Psychiatry doctor, with an experienced background in the field of Psychiatry (Addiction experience being desirable, but not essential), with experience of Psychiatric assessment and diagnoses, and the prescribing and monitoring of appropriate Psychotropic medication (Alcohol detoxification, Alcohol Protective medication and a basic understanding of Opiate substitute medication, being desirable, but not essential), within a biopsychosocial model of care. The post-holder is expected to already have the equivalent experience of undertaking Psychiatry training/Core training.
This post serves a progressive, patient-centred, recovery-based addiction service across the Bellshill, Motherwell and Wishaw localities of Lanarkshire, and incorporates patients who have a background of deprivation and psychological trauma. We are looking for a motivated doctor in Psychiatry to take up this post, and assist patients on their road to Recovery.
The post-holder would be based at the Airbles Road Centre, Motherwell. Remote working/working from home, will be accommodated into the job plan as appropriate (example: SPA’s, during non-clinical time, clinical admin time, clinics when face to face patient contact is not deemed necessary).
The post-holder would be expected to work closely with multi-disciplinary community addiction team staff based in Bellshill, Motherwell and Wishaw localities (including nursing, social care, occupational therapy, psychology and medical officer staff), as well as the Substance Misuse Nursing Liaison team at University Hospital Wishaw.
There would also be regular joint working with mental health services, local social work services, and the acute sector (for example, medical services and Accident and Emergency), as well as the third sector and local peer support services.
Addiction Psychiatry in-patient care is provided at the University Hospital Wishaw psychiatric unit, under the auspices of Addiction Psychiatry. The post-holder will be expected to oversee the in-patient detoxification treatment of patients with primarily Alcohol dependency (occasionally a combination of alcohol and drug dependencies), for patients in the Bellshill and Wishaw areas – this will be initially supported by fellow in-patient Specialist Addiction Psychiatrist, and a Consultant Psychiatrist.
