This is an exciting new substantive consultant psychiatrist post with the Northumberland & North Tyneside Universal Crisis Team. It has been developed under the Inpatient quality transformation funds to improve urgent care services (Inpatient and Crisis), make services truly 7 days a week and develop an Early discharge model from Inpatients to homebased treatment. This post holder will have part of their weekly timetable focused on this element of the crisis team function. They would work closely with the Acute Adult Inpatient teams especially Responsible clinicians at St Georges Park (3 acute inpatient wards – 2 male adult acute wards and 1 female acute adult ward) to establish this function fully. The applicant will join an experienced and well-established pre-existing adults’ crisis service which provides crisis assessment and home treatment for patients experiencing acute mental health problems which can be managed in the community with intensive mental health support, without the need for hospital admission. The post holder will enable transition from hospital to community working closely with the inpatient ward teams and consultants and with the crisis team clinicians to support home based treatment and early discharge.
