NHS 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 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.

We are in a good position with our consultant complement and hope to continue to build a strong and supportive cohort of Older Adult Psychiatrists.

Our current vacancy is within Falkirk Community Mental Health Team for Older Adults. This service provides specialist assessment for patients over the age of 65 with cognitive or functional issues.

From day one we help all new doctors in Forth Valley to embark on a journey to develop into the best doctor they can be. We would hope and expect that those we employ are keen to gain extra SPA time (in addition to accreditation work) for teaching, training, patient safety and service improvement work.

Forth Valley offers an unrivalled quality of life being an area of outstanding natural beauty which includes Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Historic Stirling ‘the gateway to the Highlands’ has local state schools that consistently feature in the top 20 national league tables. Scotland’s major cities, Glasgow & Edinburgh are within one hours travel.

Applicants are encouraged to visit the department and meet key staff. Informal enquiries should be directed to Prathima Apurva, Clinical Director on prathima.apurva2@nhs.scot.

To apply for this post, please visit the job posting on the NHS Scotland Job Train website. Applicants should have full GMC registration and a licence to practice and a minimum of 10 years’ post registration experience, at least 6 of which will be in Psychiatry at Specialty Doctor and/or SAS grades. Applicants are required to have evidence of recent continued academic and professional development. Excellent, communication, listening and organisational skills are essential.
