DOCTORS MAKING A DIFFERENCE We’re recruiting doctors to help us create the best future medical leaders. And right now it’s a great place to live and work.
There are no limits to the range of opportunities for psychiatrists to develop and influence their field of practice.
Dr Naidoo is particularly proud of the Trust’s Centre for Perfect Care, an evidence base that collates research, innovations and experience from across the world. centreforperfectcare.com
DEVELOPING TOGETHER Dr David Fearnley, medical director.
“
t’s a great place to be a doctor” says Dr David Fearnley the Trust’s Medical Director. “The work here is incredibly varied. There are no limits to the range of opportunities for psychiatrists to develop and influence their field of practice. And in terms of personal and family wellbeing it’s a great place to live.”
Support for staff to take on external posts is important to Dr Kuben Naidoo, a consultant psychiatrist specialising in adult ADHD. He is the chairman of the board of trustees for the ADHD Foundation and an examiner for the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
Our well developed appraisal system ensures all doctors revalidate and develop professionally through their career. We’re proud of our track record in providing excellent training to doctors in their undergraduate and postgraduate years, throughout foundation, core and speciality training, and beyond into consultant life.
Mersey Care’s ambitious building programme includes extensive refurbishment across its estate and the building of a £20 million state of the art hospital in Southport. “We’re using our experience and success to expand and create even more clinical opportunities. We’ve recently added a specialist learning disability division to our portfolio, together with a range of community physical health services. There are now many more leadership and management roles for doctors and we encourage them to develop special interests and to contribute towards the successful growth of the Trust; we want them to be a part of our long term plan.”
