The Urgent and Inpatient Care network look after the most acutely mentally ill people for a short time during<br />

of Wonford House Hospital. The trainee would have the opportunity to work with the inpatient team and the<br />
Crisis Team and follow the patient’s journey across services.<br />
Dr Dixon is a popular dynamic young Consultant who trained as an SpR in the <strong>Peninsula</strong> and understands the<br />

Clinical Tutor for Exeter, East & Mid Devon, he is also heavily involved in undergraduate teaching with the<br />
<strong>Peninsula</strong> College of Medicine and Dentistry and leads psychosis week and a fifth year psychiatry pathway<br />
