The timetable is indicative only. A formal job plan will be agreed between the post holder and the lead consultant & Clinical Director three months after commencing the post and at least annually thereafter.

A ground-breaking research facility based in Liverpool that will impact directly on NHS mental health services. The Trust actively supports its consultant staff who may wish to undertake roles outside the Trust that are of benefit to medical practice at regional, national and international level, and recognises the value of such roles for the reputation and standing of the Trust. Consultants should however undertake such duties only after discussion with colleagues and with the agreement of the Clinical Director or Deputy Medical Director and should be sensitive to the increased workload undertaken by colleagues in support.
