·       Undertake clinical assessment of in-patients with acute mental health problems 

·       Work closely with ward staff, mainly nursing staff, in observing patients in the ward environment and comparing notes.

·       Examination of the patient will include not only the mental state but the patient’s physical state as well, including the carrying out of any relevant investigations such as blood tests or scans.

·       Inpatient ward reviews is fundamentally a team effort and the trainee will be an integral part of that team. The trainee will be expected to demonstrate the ability and skills to work productively with the various team members and, as part of this, to be able to collate the information available to various team members regarding individual patients. This will be assessed through bi-annual Mini-PAT assessments.

·       The post holder will be expected to lead during the weekly ward rounds, having collected and collated the relevant information, and to present the case in a manner that is understandable by all team members. The trainee will be expected to include other team members in the subsequent discussions. All this will be done under the supervision of the Consultant.
