Full job description

Isle of Man Mental Health Act 1998:

Second Opinion Appointed Doctors

The Department of Health and Social Care (‘the Department’) are currently seeking to add to the existing pool of Second Opinion Appointed Doctors (SOADs), with applications for the unique role being welcomed until 31 October 2026.

If you are a qualified psychiatrist with at least 5 years’ practical experience at a senior level, then this could be an opportunity for you.

About the Isle of Man

The Isle of Man is a British Crown Dependency, located in the middle of the Irish Sea. As a Crown Dependency the Isle of Man has its own government that upholds laws and regulations, with an NHS style health care system.

Whilst the island does not fall under the jurisdiction or scrutiny of the NHS and CQC, we adopt the same or similar methodology and good practice as evidenced in the UK.

The easiest routes to get to the Isle of Man are via London airports, or transport links in the Northwest (air and sea).

Mental Health

The island has its own Mental Health Act 1998 (‘the Act’), which is based on the UK’s Mental Health Act 1983.

This includes safeguards for people who are covered by the powers of the Act, which describes the responsibilities of the Responsible Medical Officer or doctor and in what circumstances a second opinion for treatment should be sought from an independent Psychiatrist (SOAD).

SOADs are appointed by the Department, however interviews are undertaken by the local Mental Health Commission.

Reporting and accountability

The SOADs will report through the Head of Quality and Compliance at the Department of Health and Social Care.

The role and requirements from applicants

The pool of SOADs registered with the Department are completely independent of local services and work as and when requested. This is generally between 4 to 6 times per year, usually for one day each time. However, you may need to see up to 3 patients per visit.

The SOADs are called upon to provide second opinions for a patient’s treatment, where that patient is covered by the powers of the Act.

To fulfil this role, you must be able to meet the following criteria:

Qualified Psychiatrist, with at 5 years’ experience of clinical practice in a senior role
General Medical Council (GMC) registered Please include your reference number
Hold a GMC Specialist registration
Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists or have an equivalent qualification recognised by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
Registered in good standing for Continued Professional Development.
Knowledge and experience of the Mental Health Act 1983 (England and Wales)
Experience in working with patients in acute hospital settings.

The Department offers an excellent remuneration package which includes travel and associated expenses.

Equality and Diversity

The Isle of Man Public Service is committed to creating an inclusive culture that celebrates equality, diversity and inclusion. We understand how a wide range of views and experiences can benefit us as we work together for the Isle of Man.

For further information and to apply, please contact Jade McCormick, Quality and Compliance team, Department of Health and Social Care at [email protected]
