Consultant Psychiatrist in Eating Disorders Psychiatry

We are looking for an enthusiastic and service development driven Consultant Psychiatrist to join the Devon Partnership Trusts Community Eating Disorders Service (CEDS) covering Exeter and wider Devon. The service has grown steadily since its successful pilot in 2016 and full commissioning in 2018. It is now fully established and provides a full range of therapeutic interventions alongside a clearly commissioned physical health monitoring service for adults with moderate to severe eating disorders registered with GPs across Devon. We have a clear and structured MDT with extensive psychology, dietetic, physical health and FREED staffing. The FREED early intervention model is in place across Devon. We provide services to adults and support for transitions from CAMHS from age 17 onward.

We have GP led physical health hubs in North Devon, Exeter and Torbay, supporting high risk patients and close working relationships with the Haldon Specialist Eating Disorder Unit (SEDU), the newly established Eating Disorder Outreach Team (EDOT) for assertive and intense home based interventions and our Acute Trusts and CAMHS teams. The MDT includes: Consultant Psychiatrist, Associate Specialist, GP lead, senior physical health clinicians, HCAs, Service Manager, Clinical Lead, psychologists, therapists, dietitians, mental health practitioners, FREED practitioners, peer support and administrators.
