General Adult Community Psychiatry<br />
Dr Andrew Moore<br />
Devon Partnership NHS Trust<br />
North Devon District Hospital (NDDH), Raleigh Park, Barnstaple, EX31 4JB and<br />
The Gables, 1 Belmont Rd, Ilfracombe, EX31 8DR<br />
JOB DESCRIPTION: This post offers both a broad-based general adult psychiatry experience, and experience in<br />
management and leadership, in a beautiful part of Devon. The post involves training and working with<br />
Wellbeing &Access, and Recovery & Independent Living community teams based at Riverside (Barnstaple) and<br />
The Gables (Ilfracombe) covering a population of c52,000. We also provide medical input to the STEP (Specialist<br />
Team for Early Psychosis) and Assertive Outreach Teams, as well as liaising with the CRHTT and Acute IP wards.<br />
There is a new Liaison service in NDDH with opportunities for training/experience if desired. Dr Moore is the<br />
Clinical Director for the Adult Directorate (covering the whole Trust), so there is ample opportunity to gain<br />
experience in management and clinical leadership. Thus the post is an excellent one for trainees wishing to<br />
develop their overall "generic" clinical skills whilst being able to still focus on specialist areas too, and gain<br />
wider management/leadership skills. Inpatient/CRHTT work is led by Dr Gilhooly and his team, and there are 3<br />
other community based Consultants (one of whom, Dr Kerry Jonsson, is p/t in Dr Moore’s team) making up a<br />
small but friendly locality.<br />
Dr Moore has interests in Medical Management, Teaching/Medical Education and Spirituality in Mental<br />
Health, but trainees will be equally supported to pursue their own interests. There are good relationships with<br />
local GPs so trainees will be encouraged to build on this, e.g. with practice visits. There is also an active<br />
Postgraduate Training programme with weekly meetings and a Journal Club which trainees of all grades are<br />
expected to contribute to.<br />
On call experience can be arranged to suit the individual trainee. Section 12 training/approval is encouraged,<br />
and plentiful experience can be gained in Community Mental Health Act Assessments, CTO’s (including CTO<br />
Tribunals) and S136 work.<br />
