Consultant Psychiatrists - Adult Mental Health Inpatients

We are looking to recruit 2 full-time consultants to work on Elm Ward and Maple Ward - the two acute admission wards in West Park Hospital, Darlington. Elm Ward is a female acute ward and Maple Ward is a male acute. There are 4 beds commissioned by the Ministry of Defence across the two wards. Elm Ward is a 20 bedded inpatient ward. The inpatient unit comprises beds for both assessment and treatment. The Consultant for this post will be expected to work closely with another Consultant Psychiatrist (1.0 WTE). Maple Ward is also a 20 bedded inpatient unit located on the same site and is also covered by two Consultant Psychiatrists. It is expected that the post holders will provide clinical input to approximately 10 to 12 patients on both Elm and Maple wards, depending on acuity. All the inpatient units in Adult Mental Health are working on the concept of Purposeful In-Patient Admissions model (and the Productive Ward).
