Consultant Liaison Psychiatrist

This an opportunity to join as substantive consultant psychiatrist the Newham Mental Health Liaison and Psychological Medicine Service, which provides care across A&E and inpatient settings within Newham University Hospital (Barts Health).

The post has become available due to previous substantive post-holder relocating out of London.

The Trust is seeking a consultant psychiatrist to join the Newham psychiatry liaison team. The vacancy has arisen as the result of the current post-holder moving to another post within the Trust. The post-holder will clinically supervise trainees in psychiatry in addition to non-medical members of the MDT. It is anticipated that the post-holder will provide liaison psychiatry care across the range of contexts in NUH and will develop close working relationships with colleagues working in acute care in NUH.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
