This is an established post within the Rehabilitation & High Support Directorate (RHSD) covering a 10 bedded male PICU.
Take clinical responsibility for the in-patients, and lead the multi-disciplinary team. All patients are expected to be detained under The Mental Health Act 1983 (amended 2007). The role of RC carries with it the responsibility to ensure that all the necessary documentation (including Section 17 leave, Consent/Treatment, section renewal etc. forms) is correct and up-to-date, that adequate reports are provided for Manager’s Appeals or Tribunals within the time period laid down in the Code of Practice, and that either Consultant attends or ensures adequate representation is available. The appointee will maintain approval as an Approved Clinician and under Section 12 of The MHA 1983 (amended 2007).
