Hartlepool areas). There may be out of area patients on any of the wards
depending on requirements.
We operate an acclaimed and widely
recognised Purposeful Inpatient Admissions Process (PIPA), which allows for
daily consultant led inpatient services, with high quality and performance.

in line the NHS 10-year plan, and we are currently operating in 3 wards with
under 50 patients at any point in time.

excellent Multi-Disciplinary Team working. The average length of stay for our inpatients is 35 days but
there is a clear aim to reduce this to match national recommendations of bed
occupancy.
The Specialty
Doctor will help with Tribunal reports and attending hearings as needed but the
Consultant retains ultimate responsibility for matters for which ACs are responsible.
The post holder
will be expected to work closely with the consultant psychiatrists in Urgent
care services.
