Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity for a permanent post, working within the expanding and dynamic Acute Liaison Psychiatry Service (ALPS) based at the heart of St James University Hospital A&E department.
The ALPS team serves two hospital sites under Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust (LTHT); St James University Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary. The service receives all mental health referrals and delivers assessments to both acute hospitals Accident and Emergency Departments. In addition, the service model provides self-harm assessments to all the medical and surgical wards within the acute trust.
The driver to provide the ALPS service model is to reduce admissions to the Clinical Decisions Units within Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust and to conduct more timely assessments to those admitted to medical inpatient areas of LTHT following an act of self-harm.
Main duties of the job
ALPS provide comprehensive mental health and risk assessments to those referred, following which plans are formulated. As a service we work closely with medical colleagues from LTHT to ensure continuity of care, effective communication and support and advice is provided across both trusts.
We receive support from a part time consultant liaison psychiatrist who provides 2 weekly supervisions to the team. There is also an on-call rota of senior liaison psychiatrists and conduct both lone and joint assessments.
As a service we also provide teaching sessions to non-mental health staff to provide a broader understanding and awareness regarding mental health presentations, in turn enabling them to respond to mental health needs more effectively.
For this role you will be a compassionate and person-centred clinician who can carry out comprehensive mental health and risk assessments to a high standard through excellent communication and risk management skills and have the confidence to assess complex clinical issues in a busy, demanding yet rewarding environment.
