Job description Job responsibilities
Clinical Duties
The assessment and initial treatment of new admissions, performing physical examinations and the organisation of clinically indicated physical investigations.
The ongoing assessment and management of inpatients, including contributing to multidisciplinary reviews by presenting updated clinical information on patients and documenting the multidisciplinary discussion.
Participation in CPA meetings and relevant documentation. CPAs take place for most patients on a yearly basis, as well as on discharge.
Liaison with other professionals within and external to the service, voluntary agencies and carers.
The preparation of psychiatric reports and clinical referrals to mental health and physical health services.
Depending on experience, and in terms of supporting career progression, the specialty doctor will be able to observe Managers Hearings and Tribunals. Due to the long-stay nature of some patients, and the fact that not all patients at Roxbourne are detained, the frequency of such hearings averages around one or two a month. The majority of Hearings and Tribunals will be covered by the RC, but the specialty doctor will have the opportunity to present at some.
The above duties will be under the direction of the respective supervising Consultant.
