    ~ Relevant post qualification experience of multi-professional team working and an awareness of the demands of integrating psychological care with other facets of emergency/acute hospital care and coordinated team work.

    ~ Experience of communicating sensitive and complex information, both verbal and written, where such information is difficult to convey, (e.g. explaining the complexities and relevance of complex family dynamics or differing reactions to distressing events in care planning).

    ~ To work collaboratively, knowing when to engage other disciplines e.g. working jointly or referring on (e.g. for evaluation of psychotropic medication or regarding the management of risk).

    ~ To effectively communicate the findings of psychological assessment and the rationale for interventions, potentially in an atmosphere of conflict involving clients, their relatives, and healthcare professionals.

    ~ To provide teaching/training on psychological matters within the MDTs and elsewhere as may be relevant to service provision.
