I joined Walsall Community Health Trust as a Locum Consultant Psychiatrist covering the Sector with high morbidity in the inner city part of the Trust characterised by the following features:<\/p>\n
(a)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Considerable proportion of patients on Supervised discharge<\/p>\n
(b)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A unit with the highest number of patient\u2019s occupying acute<\/p>\n
Psychiatric wards<\/p>\n
(c)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 An area with highest number of patients having alcohol and drug<\/p>\n
problems with consequently considerable medico-legal problems.<\/p>\n
During this period I have been able to undertake the following clinical and professional commitments beside my professional development.<\/p>\n
Regular ward rounds \u2013 average of 2 per week<\/p>\n
Regular Out-patient Clinics \u2013 2 per week<\/p>\n
Multi-disciplinary Team meeting involving regular support and supervision of the community team and the medical staff in the unit.<\/p>\n
Together with my staff we have reduced the out-patient list considerably and have achieved good patients\u2019 services and satisfaction.<\/p>\n
In view of the high medico-legal involvement of the patients in this sector I have been able to support the local Courts including the Crown Court in not less than twenty cases involving Court Reports, communication and attendance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
