|
A clinical consultant is an expert or a professional in medical practices and has a wide knowledge of the applied branches of medical sciences and professions such as clinical psychology or clinical medicine. In the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, and parts of the Commonwealth, consultant is the title of a senior doctor who has completed all of his or her specialist training and been placed on the specialist register in their chosen specialty. A consultant typically leads a "firm" (team of doctors) which comprises specialist registrars, Senior house officers and Pre-registration house officers, all training to work in the consultant's specialty, as well as other "career grade" doctors such as clinical assistants, clinical fellows and staff grade doctors. Most consultants work on a long-term contract with one or more hospital trusts, and these posts are known as substantive consultant positions. Various titles (such as senior consultant, clinical director, medical director, etc.) exist for consultants who have particular responsibilities for the overall management of the hospital. The Clinical Consultants at Orion Health are a team of practicing physicians with worldwide expertise in healthcare organizations, healthcare processes, and health informatics.
