Forth Valley – where exceptional Psychiatrists can flourish and really feel at home
In NHS Forth Valley we know the radical and transformational difference Psychiatrists make to the lives of their patients. This is why we have developed, and will always strive to maintain a system that allows them to do this work. In NHS Forth Valley we passionately believe in joined-up, holistic care across the whole patient journey. We have resisted the fragmentation of our services. We have a dynamic Consultant workforce and due to the relatively small size and adaptability of our health board our Psychiatrists are able to become effective leaders that can drive through positive changes. In recent years our Consultants have led in reconfiguring our service to provide consistent, tiered, evidenced based treatments.
These posts are substantive posts for up to 1.1 WTE Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists to work within the multi disciplinary Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). In Forth Valley CAMHS sits within the Women & Children’s Directorate but maintains close links with colleagues in adult mental health. The successful applicants will be part of an experienced multidisciplinary team delivering comprehensive mental health care to children, adolescents and their families in NHS Forth Valley.
You can look forward to a warm welcome and strong support from colleagues. Our hospitals are situated in the heart of Scotland, nestled against the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, and close to vibrant towns that are richly endowed with excellent cultural and sporting facilities, offering good transport links to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
