Consultant Old Age Psychiatrist

Post summary and Specialty: This post is for a full-time Consultant Psychiatrist working with the Diagnostic Memory Service working closely with Older Adult Mental Health Team based at Red Oak Lodge, Leyton, E114HU

This is a replacement post of 10 Programmed Activities (PAs) with a ratio of 7.5 Direct Clinical Care (DCC) to 2.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPA). The purpose of this job description is to outline the level of responsibility and accountability of this post. This will ensure that all work undertaken by our staff is clearly identified and carried out under clear lines of accountability

This is a well-established post and is becoming vacant because the previous postholder has moved some of their clinical sessions to the Trusts Chief Clinical Information Officer post. Waltham Forest Memory Service has undertaken significant service transformation and continues to develop, with a focus on improving timely access, clinical quality, and patient flow. We wish to recruit substantively to this post as soon as possible.
