Job summary

North Devon Liaison Psychiatry Consultant Post 8PA Devon Partnership NHS Trust.

North Devon offers outstanding beaches, surfing, kitesurfing, outdoor swimming and excellent opportunities for riding and running. Dartmoor is close by, providing a stunning environment and a great place to raise children away from big city pressures.

The team is friendly, supportive and well regarded for staff retention and high quality clinical work. The hospital is small and easy to navigate, enabling strong relationships across clinical and managerial teams, with a caring and relaxed culture.

The post is well supported by local Psychiatric Consultants, regular team supervision, links with Liaison Teams across the county and close collaboration within the team. The service works a Core 15 model, with the medical component providing care 9am to 5pm to people admitted to inpatient wards or attending the Emergency Department.

The team also contributes to the Integrated Psychological Medicine Service with Talkworks (IAPT), Health Psychology and Medical and Surgical Specialties, developing pathways for people with functional and chronic conditions.

The multidisciplinary team includes Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, Liaison Psychologists, Consultant Psychiatrists and Junior Doctors. We work in a selfcontained unit that supports excellent communication while remaining closely connected to the general and psychiatric hospital on the same site. Strong administrative support is in place.

Main duties of the job

The role is to provide Consultant leadership to a multidisciplinary Liaison Psychiatry service, with opportunities for development and clinical leadership in the Integrated Psychological Medicine Service.

The clinical work is highly variable which makes it challenging at times but very interesting. This service is currently for patients age 18+ and would fit with either General Adult, Older Adult or Liaison training experience.

Teaching, as with all liaison teams, is an essential part of the role both locally, regionally, within the hospital, within the team and with medical students and is a rewarding part of the post.

The post holder will be expected to engage in the service governance programme and service improvement projects. There is an active and supportive QI team in the Trust.

On calls are part of the post and whilst relatively frequent (1:7) they are not intense and mostly constitute telephone advice and infrequent MHA assessments.

The role is well supported by all levels of trainee medical staff and the post provides supervision to these trainees.

Research interests are very encouraged and the Trust R&D team has links with the University of Exeter and a well-regarded reputation for participation in both regional and multi centre national trials. Development of consultant roles such as a research principle investigator are well established and supported.
