Specialty Doctor in Forensic Psychiatry
Full registration with the General Medical Council is a requirement for appointment to the Specialty Doctor grade. Post-holders must have held a hospital appointment in the Senior House Officer / Core Trainee / Specialty Doctor (or equivalent) grade, including at least two years’ experience in psychiatry.
Any Specialty Doctor who is unable for personal reasons to work full-time will be eligible to be considered for the post. If such a person is appointed, modification to the job content will be discussed on a personal basis with the Trust in consultation with colleagues.
There is a resident on call rotation between the Specialty Doctor posts in the Hospital. There are 16 Specialty Doctor posts in total.
The Specialty Doctor provides both psychiatric and physical health care to in-patients under the supervision of a Consultant Psychiatrist. One Consultant Psychiatrist acts as a ‘supervisor’ for the Specialty Doctor, meeting on a regular basis for feedback purposes / clinical supervision and mentoring.
The Specialty Doctor will work with Consultant led multi-disciplinary teams.
The post-holder will review the patients’ psychiatric care at regular intervals, update the medical records and liaise with all members of the multi-disciplinary team. This includes attendance at ward rounds and CPA Reviews in consultation with the patient’s Consultant and providing reports as required. In particular the Specialty Doctor will deputise for the Consultant in meetings where appropriate.
