Main duties of the job

This role provides senior medical input and clinical leadership to the Buckinghamshire Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT). You will have responsibility for your own patients as well as those patients seen by medical staff under your supervision.

The key components of the CRHTT service are:

1. Crisis response (emergency assessments and reviews)

2. Intensive home treatment characterized by the availability of multiple visits each day which are of a length and content to allow for specialist psycho-social intervention to be delivered

3. Gate-keeping admissions to psychiatric beds

4. Enabling early discharge from psychiatric admission

The CRHTT provides crisis response and inpatient gate-keeping and a home treatment service to service users leaving inpatient care and living within South Bucks. There will be a phased approach to future expansion which will be dependent on further new investment. The nature and speed of phasing will also take account of CRHTT model fidelity and assessment of safety and quality in relation to existing service provision (i.e. whatever is developed will have good fit and add value to user/care experience).
