Trosolwg o'r swydd
Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry
Location: Aberystwyth, Ceredigion
The Older Adults Mental Health Service Consultant role provides an opportunity to live and work in West Wales as part of a caring and committed team delivering high quality services to our later life population. As an Old Age Consultant Psychiatrist, you will be able to work across the pathway of primary, community and specialist secondary care maintaining that all important continuity.
We welcome and support colleagues to develop their areas of special interest be that clinical, academic, research or managerial in nature; and we have a very strong record of consultant retention.
Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
This is a sector-based pathway service, such that the role encompasses: the assessment at the initial referral stage (whether in the patient's home, care home, or in clinic); the MDT based formulation of risk and treatment plans; the ongoing management of episodes of later life mental ill health; and, where appropriate, the admission to the older adults mental health ward that you will clinically lead.
Knowledge and experience of the Mental Health Act and Mental Capacity Act are essential; the Mental Health (Wales) Measure will form a crucial part of your work and, if unfamiliar, you will be expected to become competent in its application.
Section 12 MHA and Approved Clinician status are expected.
The service sees, assesses and manages functional and organic disorders in later life and, working well and closely with our colleagues in General Adult services, has a pragmatic approach to transitions & boundaries.
Patients known to you and your service, if admitted to General Hospital, will remain under your team's care but you will enjoy support and close working relations with your local MH liaison service.
We are proud of our culture of mutual respect and cooperation across service and specialty boundaries.
