{"interviewQueryText":"What are some good interview questions in British English for the job description below?\n\n-------------------------------------------\n\nConsultant - Ealing CIDs with West London NHS Trust in Acton\n\n Based in a popular area of West London, we are looking for a dynamic and skilled colleague to provide Consultant input to the Ealing Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Service (CIDS) within the Older People's Mental Health Service (OPMHS). The post-holder will be working alongside the Specialist Older Adult Mental Health Service (SOAMHS) to ensure seamless and holistic care of patients presenting with dementia. The team continually strives to enhance the experience of patients and is closely linked to Imperial College London both in terms of teaching and research. The population estimate for Ealing is 342,000 with approximately 8% aged over 70. Ealing is an ethnically diverse borough, with 51% of people belonging to Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups. BME groups living in the UK are more likely to be diagnosed with mental health problems so the prevalence could be expected to be higher. It has been estimated that 50% of those suffering dementia in the borough are currently unknown to GPs. Specialist referrals for organic illnesses are increasing in Ealing, and at an earlier age. CIDS referrals average around 50-60 a month with a caseload for the team of around 600. You will be joining a well-established multi-disciplinary clinical team. The CIDS offers an ageless service for all patients with a primary dementia and the SOAMHS teams are integrated and work along New Ways of Working providing a specialist service for the assessment and management of mental health needs to patients over 70 who require older people's services as outlined in the Royal college of Psychiatrists document \"Age discrimination in mental health services: making equality a reality\" . The advertised post is within the Ealing East Team (Sycamore Lodge in Acton), with the Ealing West team (Elm Lodge) having a separate MDT. It is expected that the medical team members will take a lead role in providing diagnosis and management of new patients after non-medical triage, requesting and interpreting investigations, and discussing with patients and their carers post-diagnostically. The post holder will take a leading role in developing the service, supervising junior colleagues and providing lead medical input to a multi-disciplinary team About us The Candidate Pack provides an overview of the key tasks and responsibilities of the role, and the person specification outlines the qualifications, skills, experience and knowledge required.
