The infected blood inquiry report highlighted the significant psychological impact on individuals who received infected blood products and on their family members. Providing psychological support for those infected and affected is a crucial response to meeting the recommendations of the inquiry and NHS England has therefore commissioned a new service to respond to the potential psychological needs of these groups.
This post is within a regional branch based at OUH bleeding disorders and transfusion support service. The post holder will play a pivotal role in developing and building a highly specialist clinical psychology service for patients and their families. In collaboration with the Clinical Leads for Clinical Health Psychology and for bleeding disorders, they will be responsible for the development and long-term strategic planning of the provision of psychology support to these groups.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of shaping a newly developing service, with a distinct identity and with connection to a wider network of national services, while also working as an integrated member of the respective medical teams (e.g. OUH Haemophilia comprehensive care centre (CCC)).
The post holder will deliver direct assessment and intervention alongside consultation and supervision to the wider team. They will be required to work with patients and families across a range of contexts, both in person and remotely. They will be expected to work with their psychology colleagues to scope service needs and to work with the medical team on a sustainable programme of psychological support.
