10 3. Duties of the Post The Specialty Grade post is regarded as a core part of the Clinical Team, providing continuity of care and medical back up on site. The post holder will have responsibility for providing a comprehensive range of services in conjunction with the multi-disciplinary team to adult patients with severe and enduring mental health problems within the locality. He or she will be expected to cover for colleagues during absences in line with the arrangements set out in the National Terms and Conditions. The postholder will agree a job plan, with the Clinical Lead and Divisional Medical Director. It is envisaged that the sessional commitment would likely be:
Nine sessions direct clinical care to include 1 session of a group task which is 4 hours of clinical time nominally allocated for a flexible responsibility; negotiated at job planning and relevant to local, area and partnership service need and the development interest of the post holder. Examples include a specialist clinic, CBT, s22 inpatient work, extra involvement in committees or clinical governance etc.
Plus 1 session of Supporting Professional Activity including Continuing Professional Development, teaching and training, supervision, audit and research
The final timetable is subject to the review by the supervising Consultant and Clinical Lead, depending on the needs of the service, in line with job planning arrangements.
The main clinical responsibilities are the ongoing management of patients with severe and enduring mental illness and assessment and management of new referrals. This is organised through weekly outpatient clinics together with acute work and domiciliary visits as required to provide an emergency response and urgent advice to patients and their GPs. There is an ongoing process of continuing patient review at Riverview to which the Specialty Grade would be expected to contribute. In this catchment area there is a diverse population giving the opportunity to become involved with the assessment and treatment of a wide variety of mental disorders within this population. The post holder will be expected to provide additional medical leadership to the team and assist with the further development of the service. There is excellent support from a skilled and motivated multi-disciplinary team.
The post offers a good balance between acute and continuing care work. Clinical supervision is necessary and provided by a Consultant Psychiatrist. This will contribute to the post holder’s personal development plan.
Flexibility of the post holder is necessary to provide medical input for the CMHT. This may involve urgent assessments of patients, and urgent advice to colleagues regarding patient assessment and management. Cover for the leave of colleagues would be necessary.
Teaching, Continuing Education and Research
The Specialty Grade will have the opportunity to be involved in the teaching of others from various disciplines. The academic teaching programmes of case conference, seminar and Journal Club are held on Thursday mornings. During the academic year 1 undergraduate medical student from year 4 at the University of Dundee MBChB degree course is attached to the consultants
The post holder will have entitlement to Study Leave, subject to authorisation by the supervising consultant and CD. The facilities of the Medical Libraries at Gartnavel
1 Royal Hospital and Vale of Leven Hospital are available. Advice on continuing Post- Graduate Education and Careers Counselling will be available from both the Psychiatric Tutor and the Clinical Lead.
