Job description
Job responsibilities
Assessment and initial treatment of new admissions, performing physical examinations and the organization of clinically indicated physical investigations.
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.

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.
