Request and Response
  1. Please tell me which areas of psychiatry are covered by locum Psychiatrists.

e.g. General psychiatry, Old age psychiatry, Forensics psychiatry, Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Learning Disability Psychiatry, Liaison Psychiatry, In-Patient Psychiatry, Eating Disorder Psychiatry etc...

Adult MH in Shetland only provides General Psychiatry; this is covered by 2 Locums who job share.  All other specialities are covered via a Service Level Agreement with NHS Grampian.

CAMHS currently have two Visiting Consultants.  One is on our Bank and the other is with a SLA.
