Job summary
This post was vacated by the previous
substantive consultant moving. This post forms part of the Directorate of Adult
Mental Health within the North Yorkshire, York and Selby Care Group of Tees,
Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust.
We aim to provide
person-centered specialist services, with emphasis on the role of the care
coordinator, and consequent reduction of clinical demands on consultant
psychiatrists and specialty doctors, allowing them to take up true consultancy
roles, and to devote more time to special interests.
We also aim to provide
compassionate care to patients, carers and families that takes account of the
patients needs and aspirations beyond their mental health difficulties. Our
aim is to work collaboratively with patients, sharing responsibility for their
care and providing informed choice about treatment options.
The clinical
directorate includes a Service Manager and Lead Psychiatrist. They are all
accountable to the Quality Assurance Group which is chaired by the General
manager of AMH Services and Associate Medical Director for AMH services and
meets once a month.
On the basis of
intensive consultation and staff and service user involvement, the locality has
developed a whole system of care. All specialist elements required by the
Mental Health NSF are in place, with some local tailoring to meet the
challenges of rurality. The service is an integrated health and social care
enterprise (with North Yorkshire Social Services)
Main duties of the job
The expectations of the clinical work are that you will
provide consultant input in line with the principles of New Ways of Working.
The core clinical work will involve outpatient clinics, formulation-, review-
and leadership- meetings and Mental Health Act-related work. The direct clinical
workload centres on clinic-based meetings. As a result of the Transformation of Mental
Health Services in Harrogate, inpatient services are provided from Foss Park Hospital
in York with enhanced support for local teams provided through the crisis
resolution and home treatment team.
You will not act as a care coordinator. You will act as a lead professional
for those patients not subject to CPA. You will conduct up to 2 new assessments
per week, following the initial assessments by the care coordinator. You will conduct 10 follow ups per week. Review will occur on a regular basis to manage
the caseload within acceptable numbers.
Cover arrangements and supervision of junior medical staff will be
shared with the other post holder who works 5 PAs in this team.
