Permanent, Full-Time (10PAs) An exciting opportunity has arisen for 10PAs substantive Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist to work in Hillingdon Urgent Care Team with special interest in Paediatric Liaison. The post holder will have the responsibility of managing young people who predominantly present through Hillingdon Hospital Emergency Department and those admitted to paediatric and adult medical wards. Urgent Care Pathway has recently received additional funding to further develop short term crisis intervention (tier 3.5) input and this would be a stimulating opportunity to help shape the new short term crisis intervention service.

Staffing in the Hillingdon Urgent Care Team includes: consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist (1.0 WTE), team lead (1.0), clinical nurse specialist (3.0), assistant psychologist (1.0), and an administrator (1.0). The Urgent Care Team provides assessments at the Emergency Department and to the paediatric ward and medical wards (for 16- and 17-year-olds) at Hillingdon Hospital as well as 7-day follow-up appointments for Hillingdon patients discharged from acute hospitals. On average, the team sees 30 new cases/month. They are seen by the clinical nurse specialists (or another mental health professional) and discussed with the team at the first instance and, if required, discussed with the consultant psychiatrist. The cases are currently not kept on the caseload but either transferred to another team/service for further input or discharged to primary care. Once the urgent care outreach service (UCOS for crisis work) is developed, it is expected that the team will carry a maximum caseload of 10 active cases at any one time. The direct clinical care consultant caseload is expected to vary between 10-20 cases, combined between liaison and crisis aspects of the service.
