Trust Doctor - London, United Kingdom - South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
Description
Job summary
Applications are invited for a Trust Grade Doctor (CT1-3 Level) Float post based at the Lambeth Hospital. This is a full-time fixed-term post across a variety of inpatient services at the Lambeth Hospital. This is for 9am-5pm with no on-call responsibilities although you are more than welcome to contribute to the gaps in the junior doctor rota and will be compensated for doing so. This is a well-established role and is becoming available as the current incumbent is moving on to commence her training post.
All the services in Lambeth Hospital will be relocated to different Trust sites later this year. All the acute wards and PICU will be relocated to a newly built New Douglas Bennett House in the Denmark Hill campus (Maudsley Hospital, Denmark Hill, London SE5 8AZ). This post will move along with all the staff working in these services. A full induction programme will be offered.
Post will be initially for a period of 6 months with possibility of extension.
Main duties of the job
The Lambeth Hospital Float Specialty Doctor will provide psychiatric medical input to inpatient psychiatric wards, with the purpose of providing cover for psychiatric trainees associated with the teams. The post is designed to cover for planned leave and on-call commitments (9am-5pm) of the ward junior medical staff, including holding the duty bleep on Wednesdays (9am-5pm) during the CT academic day. The post-holder would have a host ward and rotate to cover short-term vacancies on the Lambeth inpatient wards, the psychiatric intensive care unit and the rehabilitation and challenging behaviour ward based on the Lambeth Hospital site. Each ward has a dedicated inpatient consultant psychiatrist and a middle-grade (ST4-6).
The Lambeth Hospital Float Specialty Doctor will be involved in the assessment and management of adults who are of a clinical and risk profile requiring inpatient psychiatric admission. Patients typically present with an acute mental disorder, and associated vulnerabilities with risk to themselves or others. The inpatient psychiatric services interface with triage services, community-based services and general medical services in the primary and secondary care.
