It is a 6 programmed activity post covering Monday to Wednesday. The clinical work will involve participation in weekly MDT, ward rounds/CPAs/professionals' meetings, Mental Health Act related work and report writing when applicable. The job plan also includes time for Quality improvement/service development projects, teaching medical students, reflective practice and Continuing Professional Development.

There will be ample opportunity for the post holder to gain knowledge and skills in perinatal psychiatry, so having previously worked in the specialty is not an essential requirement.

This is a part time post covering Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

As this is a new post there will be the opportunity to discuss and develop the position with the clinical supervisor.
