Over the past five years, strong clinical leadership has ensured the clinical pathways within the Forensic programme have successfully been embedded with many positive outcomes for patients and partnership working.
We are seeking a dynamic, self-motivated and passionate person with experience of working in Forensic services to work as clinical lead in the Acute Admissions Forensic Pathway. The Acute Forensic pathway, also known as the A2 pathway is the main access point for male patients into the Forensic service. The acute forensic wards across the three SLP partner Trusts work together to ensure standardised processes of assessment; timely admission and a high quality inpatient experience. We serve those in South London who have come into contact with the Criminal Justice System, and/or have significant issues with persistent violent behaviour.
As the Acute Forensic Pathway Clinical Lead, the post holder will work as part of a dynamic team supporting the continued development of partnership working and service improvement across acute forensic services within the SLP Forensic Provider Collaborative.
The post holder will work closely with the Acute Forensic Pathway clinicians and services, other SLP pathways and service leads to develop and maintain high quality and accessible services for service users. The post holder will be an excellent communicator and able to build effective internal and external networks to help deliver our collective ambitions and aims for Forensic services across South London.This role will suit an individual who has the drive and enthusiasm to support change and developing new frameworks for partnership working in a complex, dynamic environment.
The post holder will report to the SLP Clinical Director, Forensics as well as working with other pathway leads on overlapping objectives and to ensure that work across the programme is aligned. The role offers an interesting opportunity to develop approaches and skills of working in both a provider and commissioner role. This is an exciting time for the Acute Forensic Pathway, with a renewed focus on service developments that support timely admission, reduced waiting times and early diversion from Forensic services for those who do not need them. This is in addition to strengthening the existing provision.
