This Trust Doctor post is for Agile Support Psychiatry Doctor (CT1-3 equivalent) - Maudsley Hospital provides psychiatric medical input to inpatient psychiatric wards, with the purpose of providing cover for psychiatric residents associated with the teams. The post is designed to cover for short planned leave and on-call commitments (9am-5pm) of the ward resident doctors. The post-holder would have a host ward and rotate to cover short-term vacancies on the Maudsley inpatient wards, and the female psychiatric intensive care unit based in the Maudsley Hospital. Each ward has a full time dedicated inpatient consultant psychiatrist, middle-grade doctor (ST4-6 or specialty doctor) and two SHO-level doctors (CT1-3, GP training residents, F2s). This is the second post of this kind in the hospital, so the successful applicant will be working with another doctor performing the same duties.
The post holder will be involved in the assessment & management of adults who are of a clinical and risk profile requiring inpatient psychiatric admission. Patients typically present with an acute mental disorder, and associated vulnerabilities with risk to themselves or others. The inpatient psychiatric services interface with home treatment teams, community-based services and general medical services in the primary and secondary care.
