Consultant Psychiatrist in Forensic or LD Psychiatry Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust This is a replacement post which has become vacant as the previous Consultant Psychiatrist has retired. The Forensic Outreach Liaison Service (FOLS) is a tertiary service that offers specialist advice, assessment, support and intervention to people with a learning disability and/or autism diagnosis, who pose a risk of serious harm to others. The team provides responsive consultation and liaison to other mental health and learning disability teams in the assessment and management of high-risk individuals who have offended or are at risk of doing so. The team is available across North Yorkshire and York. The service is based at Alexander House, Knaresborough and works remotely across the North Yorkshire and York area. The team facilitates a safe transition from secure inpatient areas with a gradual transfer to secondary services where there is an identified health need or discharge from service. This will involve a period of follow-up, which can include care coordination or co-working with secondary community teams (including mental health services) relating to the management of risk. The team provides consultation and liaison to local secondary teams in the assessment and management of risk, to avoid where possible an admission to secure care. Additionally, the team enhances the interventions provided by Secure Inpatient Services to support the patient journey and reduce length of stay. Main duties of the job This is an 8PA post based in the community. NY FOLS provides a seven-day service, 9am to 5pm. The team consists of: Team Lead, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, 4 Community Nurses, 4 Community Support Workers, a Psychologist, and a 0.6wte Speech and Language Therapist. NY FOLS currently has 45 active clients and care coordinates 11 of these. Approximately half of these patients are community-based. Referrals into the service are through a single point of access.

Secure Inpatient Wards are based at Ridgeway, Roseberry Park Hospital, Middlesbrough. These wards include secure LD and ASD wards. The post-holder will work alongside an inpatient team including 14 consultant colleagues, 4 specialty grade doctors and up to 3 core trainees. Within Health & Justice, there are two other community teams in addition to NY FOLS. These include a Forensic Community Service and Secure Outreach and Transition Team, both with a consultant colleague and a multi-disciplinary team. About us We are one of the largest specialist mental health and learning disabilities trusts in the country, with an annual income of £320m and a workforce of some 6,700 staff operating from around 100 sites in Durham, Teesside, North Yorkshire and York and Selby.
