Description :
Consultants in General Adult Psychiatry
Post 1: North Herefordshire based at Leominster CMHT
Post 2: South Herefordshire based at Ross-On-Wye CMHT
Salary and Terms and Conditions as per the New Consultant Contract.
Herefordshire Primary Care Trust is a Community and Mental Health Trust serving the county of Herefordshire (population circa 175,000). In line with organisational change within the NHS, it is planned that Mental Health Services will transfer to a larger NHS Mental Health Provider Trust this year. This move is supported by clinicians and the PCT and will not alter the terms and conditions of this post.
The post holders will join an establishment of 7 Consultants in General Adult Psychiatry who work within functional teams to provide a county wide service. The county of Herefordshire is served by an Inpatient Psychiatry Team, Crisis and Home Treatment Team, Assertive Outreach and Recovery Team, Early Intervention Team, Community Drug and Alcohol Services, Criminal Liaison Service and four Community Mental Health teams (two in Hereford city and two rural teams). The post holders will provide Consultant services and leadership to the Community Mental Health Teams for patients between the ages of 17 and 65 (circa 50,000 total population).
The post holders will join a well established Multi Disciplinary Community Mental Health Team providing a comprehensive catchment area service. Both posts are in a rural locality with good links to well established general practices and integrated with local authority social care services. The post holders will not be responsible for inpatient care which will reside with Inpatient and Crisis/Home Treatment Services.
There are seven junior doctors working in the service, comprising psychiatric trainees, GP trainees and Foundation year 2 trainees. These posts are attached to consultants and teams according to training needs. In addition there is funding for a middle grade doctor or equivalent to work as part of the consultant team.
The successful candidate will be expected to take an active role in junior doctor training including acting as Educational Supervisor. There is an active in-house educational programme to which all Consultants and trainees contribute.

Herefordshire is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The quality of life in Herefordshire is excellent with outstanding cultural, sporting and leisure opportunities.
