Due to the recent reconfiguration of the Trust, the post holder will also have responsibility for patients admitted from out of primary area. These will mostly come from the Nottingham City area. These admissions are divided up between other consultants on the unit with an established formula. The medical input to 70 inpatient beds is divided between 4 consultants with inpatient responsibilities on with maximum number of up to 9 patients under one consultant at any one time. The postholder will have clinical responsibility for the 17 female patients on the ward in an acute setting. They will provide senior medical input for their mental health, working closely with the multidisciplinary team.
