We are seeking an experienced full-time Consultant Psychiatrist who will work at Cygnet Hospital Beckton and provide senior medical cover on Svanna Ward, our 12 bed Psychiatric Intensive Support Service for women.
The ward provides assessment and treatment for women experiencing a mental health crisis who require an emergency admission.
The post holder will be the Responsible Clinician and will oversee and maintain the care of all ward inpatients as required and will also have responsibility for auditing the medical services rendered at the ward and ensuring their good quality in accordance to GMC standards of good medical practice and other relevant professional guidelines.
