Main duties of the job
This is an opportunity to gain experience in Psychiatry at Core Trainee level within Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The Trust is keen to support the on-going development and career progression of these doctors who will work closely with their clinical supervisor. Similar to core trainees they will be allocated an educational supervisor who will provide pastoral support and offer career guidance.
Duties will include resident doctor psychiatry and medical input into the inpatient units and community psychiatry experience (depending upon the actual post).
Protected time is built into FY3 Doctor timetables to attend the weekly academic teaching programme which is currently mostly held online.
