Consultant Psychiatrist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (Crisis)
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 18 day(s) ago
Reference: 310-MEDE-7895580-C
Job summary
This innovative post seeks to integrate Tier 4 inpatient care and crisis response predominantly in the acute trusts North of the county. To provide care with the other inpatient consultant to the 12 beds at the Darwin centre and offer support to the nurse led crisis team. There is also an existing home treatment service under another consultant and this forms part of our acute care pathway - Crisis, Home treatment, Tier 4 and a dedicated liaison team at Addenbrookes. This role is to support the tier 4 and crisis elements specifically. The job will be approximately a 60/40 split between the Darwin and Crisis service.
The Darwin Centre for Young People is part of the East of England provider collaborative and accepts referrals for young people needing a General Adolescent Unit admission from Trusts across the region.
In line with the NHS 10-year plan. It aims to improve continuity, effectiveness, and efficiency of care and treatment for young people presenting with high-risk and acute mental health needs, and their families.
The successful applicant will observe local and national employment directives regarding managed medical personnel and ensure adherence to appropriate NHS and Trust policies.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will primarily provide consultant psychiatric leadership in the ongoing development of an effective, efficient and evidence-based crisis and assessment team. They will work in collaboration with multi-disciplinary colleagues to provide needs-led and child and family centered psychiatric assessment and treatment to young people in acute crisis, and those subsequently requiring Tier 4 intervention.
Provide crisis input to Hinchingbrooke Hospital and Peterborough City Hospital (and occasionally cover to Addenbrookes). There will be a need for onsite assessments, including Mental Health Act assessments, both in acute hospitals. Due to the geographical area covered, the successful applicant will be expected to drive as part of the role, and remote working and flexibility of base will be required. On the days they are based at the Darwin, onsite crisis work will be covered by the day time psychiatry rota which is already in place.
The dual aspect of this new role means they will be able to provide ongoing Consultant Care for individual young people from crisis presentation to Tier 4 discharge, providing consistency across these transitions and integrating inpatient and community services. They will lead network organizations, integration, risk formulation and management, discharge and contingency planning, and ensure care and treatment is delivered within appropriate legal frameworks, and in accordance with national guidance.
