From August 2007 there will be eight GP VTS posts within Brighton and are in General Adult, Old Age, Substance Misuse Psychiatry and Learning Disabilities. All of these posts offer a mix of inpatient, outpatient and community work and encompass the training needs of future GPs. These posts provide excellent opportunities for working in a multi-disciplinary setting.

Trainees working within a sub-speciality such as Substance Misuse or Learning Disabilities will have the opportunity to experience General Adult and Old Age Psychiatry.

There are 7 SHO posts in Mid-Sussex. The base is a 350 bedded district general hospital. Acute inpatient psychiatry, intensive psychiatric care unit, acute old age assessment, old age day hospital, medium stay rehabilitation unit and inpatient child and adolescent services are all based on site. Also on site is the regional neurosciences unit (neurology and neurosurgery).

In the adult psychiatry service there are 3 sectors each with its own CMHC and a Consultant led CMHT.
