We welcome applicants to apply for a consultant psychiatry post at CNTW trust in the Regional Affective Disorders Service (RADS) service. RADS is a tertiary level specialist service that has been in existence for over 30 years. Its primary clinical function is to provide assessment, advice and management for difficult to treat mood disorders and related conditions. The service continues to be at the forefront of innovation, enabled by the service's links with Newcastle University and the role that clinical academic links play within the service.

RADS is one of a limited number of specialist/tertiary level affective disorders services in the UK providing both outpatient and in-patient care for patients with difficult to treat mood disorders. RADS clinicians are members of the Northern Centre for Mood Disorders (NCMD), which is a collaboration between Newcastle University and CNTW NHS Foundation Trust. NCMD provides public and professional education around mood disorders and supports a wide range of research.

Patients attending RADS may be approached about ongoing research opportunities.
