General Adult Psychiatry

Trevillis House, Liskeard

This is general adult psychiatry post in a busy CMHT. The job will provide a wide experience ranging from affective disorders to psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and neuropsychiatric disorders like Tourette’s syndrome with everything in between. It is an excellent post to build up a strong foundation of generic general adult psychiatry and consider further specialisation.  The work involves routine and urgent/emergency work.

You will have the use of a desk in the office and a medical secretary shared by all doctors in the patch i.e. Consultant, SHO and Higher Trainee.  There will be an excellent balance of autonomy with consultant back-up.  There is weekly supervision for an hour built into the time-table. 

The Community Mental Health Team based at Trevillis House in Liskeard has two patch consultants, which are based on GP surgeries. 

The team has one Team Manager, Specialist Practitioner (AMHP), nurses, OTs, MHWBP, CAP and support workers.  There is a Clinical Psychologist in one post and a vacancy for a CBT Therapist.  

The inpatient ward is at Bodmin Hospital at Bodmin.  The acute ward is Fletcher and the PICU ward is Harvest.  There is a separate MDT for the inpatients and a meeting every week amongst patch consultant and inpatient consultant to discuss the patients. 

The Team MDTs offer an excellent opportunity for chairing meetings, managing expectations and learning navigating through difficult conversations. 

Trainees are encouraged to participate in quality improvement and management.  There may be an opportunity to shadow either the Clinical Directors or the Medical Director with agreement.  You will need to keep the mandatory training up to date as required by the Trust.

There is an opportunity to teach medical students and core trainee.  You are encouraged to participate in the monthly CPD programme in Cornwall.  There is a possibility of chairing the monthly grand rounds (this is a case presented by trainees on a monthly rotating basis).  There may be an opportunity to supervise the junior doctor.

The Perinatal Mental Health Team in Cornwall was established in 2013 in order to provide specialised care to women during pregnancy and in the post-natal period, and to provide preconception advice; for women with, or at risk of, serious mental illness. The team has undergone a significant expansion in the last 2 years, following success in winning bids from NHSEngland. This has meant an expansion in resources and a genuine multi-disciplinary team, that continues to develop. The service provides specialist advice, support and oversight, working with health and social care professionals in primary care, maternity services, early years and adult mental health.

Patients are referred from Midwifery, Health Visiting, primary care, and from other secondary care teams, and can also self-refer. The team is currently commissioned to triage, to assess, and to provide a full package of care to a number of patients equivalent to around 5% of all live births in the county.

Patients under the care of the team have an allocated key worker and are often cared for solely by the Perinatal Mental Health team, though the team sometimes also work alongside some of the trusts other mental health teams.

The main service objectives are:

• To provide a leadership role to the local health community, raising awareness and capability through the provision of training, information and evidence based advice and guidance.
• To provide a direct clinical service within the criteria agreed in the service specification. This will include having direct oversight of the care of women with serious mental health needs.
• To provide clinical assessment of mother-baby relationships where these have been referred as being particularly problematic and cannot be managed by health visitors or primary infant mental health specialists
• To support professionals, women and their families to understand the emotional and physical changes associated with childbirth and the risks which these present to women with pre-existing mental health conditions; who have risk factors such as family history; or who develop mental health conditions during or after their pregnancy.
• To ensure that all women who have, or develop serious mental health problems during pregnancy have access to up to date, consistent advice on the risks and benefits of medication in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. This advice may be provided directly by the service, but also through training and information to GPs, Mental Health and Maternity professionals.
• Support a managed transition of women on the caseload to other services after the perinatal period, including preparation for future pregnancies
• To improve awareness of risks, particularly ‘red flag’ risks and triggers amongst all professionals who work with women and their babies during and after pregnancy.
• To improve awareness of the impact of both ante-natal and post-natal mental health problems on the mother-infant relationship and attachment.
• To support the development and improvement of the local care pathway including agreement of common policies and procedures for use by all providers involved in the care of pregnant women and their infants.
• To establish and manage systems for sharing information about individual women who have a risk assessment and/or care plan between primary care, maternity services, adult mental health and health visiting.
• To promote the development of effective clinical governance mechanisms across all agencies responsible for delivering the care pathway
• Participate in local, regional and national networks, as appropriate in order to share learning and good practice. This will include participating in any opportunities for peer review with other services.

The service co-ordinates care, under non-CPA, for women with serious mental illness (bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, other psychoses, previous postpartum psychosis, severe depression with and without psychosis) who are at high risk of relapse postnatally, but are currently well and therefore not open to mental health services and ineligible to receive a service from adult mental health teams.

The service does not take over care coordination of women who are already under the care of an adult mental health team. Responsibility for these women remains with the existing mental health team, with advice and adjunct specialist input from the specialist team as required.

The service does not have the capacity to provide direct support to women with mild to moderate anxiety and depression but will provide signposting, advice and guidance and training in relation to mental health conditions during the perinatal period.

The service takes an active role in ensuring tight clinical governance across organisations to coordinate and secure evidence based medicine, efficient and effective care pathways and care planning, adequate data collection for auditing purposes and effective patient safety tools (incident reporting, RCA management).

The service works in partnership with Primary Care, Maternity Services, Adult Mental Health, local MBUs to provide support for women from pre-conception through to the infant’s first birthday.

The service undertakes joint risk assessments with GPs, maternity services, and Early Years services (Health visitors and Primary Mental Health Services). It provides specialist advice on medication during pregnancy, and supports the development of mental health care plans.

Clinical Duties

• Work as a member of the CFT Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Team (PNMH team)
• Provide daily support to the Specialist PNMH keyworkers in managing routine and urgent clinical care for patients on the caseload.
• To provide planned assessment and review of service users in the community and in clinic settings.
• To undertake urgent assessments of women who have suspected symptoms of Post-partum psychosis where capacity allows
• To provide specialist input into risk assessment, care planning, and crisis planning for women with a pre-existing mental health need or a new onset severe mental health problem who have been identified as being at risk in the antenatal or postpartum period.
• To provide medical input to the weekly MDT meeting and assessments of patients referred to the team.
• Attend CPA reviews and other care reviews organised by the responsible key-worker/care co-ordinator
• To provide specialist advice to GPs, Consultant Obstetricians and Adult Mental Health clinicians on the use of mental health medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• To liaise with other parts of the perinatal pathway and GPs and non-NHS organisations wherever applicable; and attend meetings in relation to work with non-NHS oragnisations, for example child protection conferences
• Participate in regular supervision with the teams Consultant Psychiatrist.
• To maintain paper and electronic health records in accordance with Trust Health Policies, and to ensure effective and timely documentation and communication of clinical decision making and management plans

The trainee will be part of a multidisciplinary team providing mental health support, diagnosis, and treatment for patients in the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Treliske, Truro. The team comprises a CORE 24 service with two Consultant Psychiatrists. There is a CT2 trainee and an F1 doctor. There is a Team Manager, three clinical lead nurses, 10 other Band 6 Psychiatric nurses, two Clinical Associate Psychologists, a STR worker, an administrator and a medical secretary.

The team accepts referrals for the full range of psychiatric presentations in the general hospital. The majority of referrals are for self-harm, although a wide range of other conditions are seen including eating disorders, alcohol withdrawal with severe behavioural disturbance, delirium, complex presentations and medically unexplained symptoms, acute psychiatric emergencies presenting at ED e.g. acute psychosis and catatonia. We are also involved with the complex presentations and frequent attenders pathway at RCH. The trainee will have an opportunity to see these patients, particularly more complex presentations and to supervise more junior medical staff in their assessments. They will learn to provide advice and support to the senior nursing staff within the team and joint assessments are encouraged.

The assessment and management of more complex referrals is where the trainee will have their predominant role. These referrals include neuropsychiatric presentations, perinatal psychiatric presentations (in conjunction with the perinatal team), complex somatoform disorders and co-morbid common mental health disorders that are influencing the presentation of long term medical conditions.

The trainee will be directly supervised by the Consultant for one hour each week. The Liaison Service is establishing links with many other hospital departments.

There will be an opportunity to establish a special interest in one of these areas and an excellent opportunity for service development and research.

The timetable is flexible and can be adjusted according to commitments. There is an opportunity to supervise the F1 doctor and to contribute to the teaching programme.

Early Intervention Team consists of two multidisciplinary teams situated in the East (Bellingham House, Bodmin Hospital) and the West (Kernow Building, Wilson Way, Pool, Redruth) of the county.  The staff in each team consists of one Consultant Psychiatrist (covering both teams), a staff grade psychiatrist, a core trainee (covering both teams), clinical psychologists, clinical associate psychologists, keyworkers (CPNs, OTs, social workers), support workers, administration, IPS workers (employment support). 

We do not currently manage inpatients as patients are cared for by iCMHT consultants when admitted to the ward but we do like to inreach and keep some link in with ward reviews.  The nature of work is the assessment, review and coordination of first episode of psychosis interventions including the use of psychotropic medication.  We provide a up to 3 year service for anyone of adult age with a first episode of psychosis (but only those >35 years of age with a duration of untreated psychosis under 18 months). 

You would be on the S12/RC rota with a nominated RC supervisor who would be oncall with you, where you would be first point of contact for S12 work during office hours and out of hours with the back up of RC oncall to supervise you or complete nominated RC work. 

We have an admin team as well as medical secretarial support.  There may be opportunity to engage or even develop a psychoeducative group or engage in national or local audit, and teach medical students or local trainees.  The west office is located next to the research team and would be good opportunities to engage in research locally. 

There are a number of targets regarding physical health which would be great to continue quality improvement programmes.  The bases have some office space but remote working will continue to be encouraged and facilitated.

EMPLOYING TRUST

Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

TRAINING BASE

Truro Health Park, TR1 2JA

JOB DESCRIPTION

This is a community CMHT-based role which gives prospective higher trainees the chance to develop their core skills in community general adult psychiatry. Specifically, the higher trainee is expected to undertake new patient assessments and support the CMHT assessing team; to undertake both routine and emergency outpatient work, including support to patients currently under the care of the Home Treatment Team; and to make the most of additional ad hoc clinical opportunities, such as home visits, MHA assessments, mental health tribunal experience, direct consultation with GPs, and consultation with other teams. Furthermore, the Falmouth Primary Care Network (PCN) is leading the way in Cornwall with more integrated models of working between primary and secondary care. The higher trainee will have the opportunity to work more closely at this primary/secondary care interface, providing advice and guidance to a wider MDT centred around weekly PCN-wide ‘hub’ meetings.

The Carrick integrated CMHT is a busy team, comprising of psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, support workers, and psychology colleagues. The South Carrick patch covers Falmouth and the surrounding area. This brings diversity to the post with patients from across the socio-economic spectrum. The patch also includes the university on the Penryn Campus, providing opportunity to gain experience in student mental health.

The CMHT is based in Truro Health Park (THP), where office space and administrative support is available. Working from home arrangements are also supported where possible. A mobile phone and laptop are provided by the trust. Outpatient clinics are held in both THP and Falmouth Community Hospital, though telephone and video consultation are also utilised. Inpatient beds are in Longreach House, on the Camborne Redruth Community Hospital site.

The trainer is also a clinical supervisor for GP trainees who provide clinical support to the team. The trainee might wish to take on teaching roles for the GP trainees. Medical students also frequently rotate through the team, and the trainee is encouraged to participate in medical student teaching. Additional opportunities are available because the trainer runs a Special Study Unit for second year students twice per year.

The trainer has also been recently appointed to a Clinical Director post for community mental health, and the higher trainee will be encouraged to make the most of shadowing opportunities to gain experience in medical leadership.

CFT has an active research department, and support will be given for the trainee to engage in such activity if desired. The trainer is currently acting as Principal Investigator for a trial which the trust is participating in.

Participation in audit is expected during the post. Participation in management opportunities is also encouraged as part of higher training, and the GAP consultant body in Cornwall is seeking to establish a more meaningful presence in the Trust management structure.

The trainer qualified with an MSc in Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic psychotherapy during his own ST years, and support will be given to the trainee to undertake further post-graduate training and qualification as part of special study and research time if that is desired. Because of this further education, the trainer has specific interest in the application of psychoanalytic/psychodynamic principles to general psychiatric work. Therefore, participation in psychotherapy training is also highly encouraged.
