This is a great opportunity for a part time (7 PA's) SAS Doctor in a new 8 bedded female Enhance Care Unit (ECU), based in Derby. We are currently undertaking a programme to create purpose-built facilities to improve the safety, privacy and dignity for our adult acute mental health patients, by eradicating dormitory accommodation. As part of this we are creating a new state of the art Enhanced Care Unit on our Kingsway Hospital, Derby site.
This will be an 8 bedded unit to support female patients who require a higher intensity of service and higher security than is available on an acute mental health ward, but do not meet the criteria for access to PICU services. The unit will improve the acute service delivery pathway by maintaining a maximum length of stay of under 8 week and achieving an average length of stay between 39 and 48 days. The unit is due to open in approximately November 2024.
You will work alongside others to establish and develop this new service for Derbyshire and collaborate with an innovative and forward-thinking programme team, the Consultant and senior leaders to design the operational structure, staffing model and clinical pathways.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will take a key role in the department providing clinical leadership alongside the Consultant to the team and those within the Directorate, with which they will be working and supporting current and future service developments.
Working in accordance with our people first approach you will lead by example, acting as a role model within a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to ensure the highest level of clinical standards. You will ensure, along with the Consultant and Ward Manager, that the team provides safe, effective therapeutic care within a specialist newly purpose-built ward environment.
The unit will support patients with mental health conditions who need intensive treatment and support as an inpatient, provided within a safe and stable environment for their recovery. You will lead the team and support the wider MDT to create an environment where we are able to acknowledge our service users' cultures, life experiences, protected characteristics and their strengths to help promote their recovery.
The culture and ethos of approach within our PICU is aimed at ensuring that co-production of care with our service users is an essential and key part of their recovery journey. The MDT will involve both the service users, their carers, alongside clinicians and practitioners as well as external agencies to ensure that individual recovery care plans are individual, co-produced, therapeutic and effective.
Please enquire about our generous relocation package.
