Description

An opportunity has arisen for a motivated and experienced mental health practitioner to join the Acute Hospital liaison service at Harrogate District Hospital.


Mental health disorders are very common in general hospitals and research has shown that they are often not recognised or treated.

Untreated mental health issues can lead to longer hospital admission and poorer physical health overall in hospital inpatients and increased health care costs.


The Acute Hospital liaison service is a team of Mental health professionals whooffer assessment and interventions for acute hospital inpatients and those presenting at Emergency Department.

Depending on the clinical presentation, follow up and further therapeutic interventions will be offered according to need.


The service operates 7 days a week over 24 hours, therefore unsocial hours, including night duty is an expectation of this post.
