Devon Partnership NHS Trust<br />

JOB DESCRIPTION:<br />

The Urgent and Inpatient Care network look after the most acutely mentally ill people for a short time during<br />

their crisis. This can occur at home with support from the Crisis Resolution Team or may require a stay on the<br />

inpatient unit. This post involves working across these two areas with clients who live in East Devon. The post<br />

is based in Exeter with the Crisis Resolution Team located within the inpatient unit at The Cedars in the grounds<br />

of Wonford House Hospital. The trainee would have the opportunity to work with the inpatient team and the<br />

Crisis Team and follow the patient’s journey across services.<br />

Dr Dixon is a popular dynamic young Consultant who trained as an SpR in the <strong>Peninsula</strong> and understands the<br />

training needs of ST4-6’s and can help them on their path to a CCT and Consultant job. As well as being the<br />

Clinical Tutor for Exeter, East & Mid Devon, he is also heavily involved in undergraduate teaching with the<br />

<strong>Peninsula</strong> College of Medicine and Dentistry and leads psychosis week and a fifth year psychiatry pathway<br />

among other things. Any trainee would have the opportunity to be involved with this teaching.<br />

The post comes with full secretarial support, a spacious office and a GP trainee covering the ward. There is a<br />

well attended clinical education meeting with lively discussion every week which is led by Dr Dixon.<br />
