Ref 2579973 | Date: 19 Sept 2026 HUG - Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève With more than 13'000 employees representing 160 professions, the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève are a reference institution at the national and international level. To learn more about our institution, take a few minutes to consult our 2025 retrospective by clicking [here](< >). Counting nearly 1'300 employees, the Department of Psychiatry responds to a triple mission focusing on the treatment of mental disorders, training, and research. Thus, the department's mission is to screen and effectively treat pathologies that are increasingly frequent and polymorphic, while respecting patients and their relatives. The Liaison Psychiatry and Crisis Intervention Service is responsible for the evaluation, orientation, and follow-up of the interdisciplinary treatment of psychiatric disorders in patients who are hospitalized or followed within the framework of outpatient consultations at the various HUG sites. The service also has the mandate to welcome, care for, and orient patients addressing the HUG emergency services. The Service offers a stimulating and diverse clinical environment at the heart of the hospital, fostering interactions with many medical and surgical specialty services. It also offers a high-quality training framework, with structured internal training including clinical presentations and other interactive pedagogical formats. The Liaison Psychiatry Unit (UPL) is located at the interface between different medical and surgical specialties on one hand, and psychiatry on the other. It is implemented through hospital modalities carried out at the bedside of the patient, and for non-hospitalized patients whose health status requires the organization of outpatient follow-up in a somatic specialty, following or not a hospitalization. Its deployment allows for the management of complex situations combining somatic manifestations or disorders with psychological suffering or manifestations. In all the services covered by liaison psychiatry, the UPL team, composed of psychiatrists and psychologists, is deployed to respond to rich and varied clinical needs, always at the request of the physician in charge of the patient. Generally, the discipline of liaison psychiatry contributes, within the general hospital, to the development of a global and integrative approach to the patient, transcending the body-psyche duality. The targeted psychological interventions are based on this integrative vision and are part of the multidisciplinary work around the patient, around clinical, training, and research missions. The fulfillment of our employees in their mission is an important value for us, with a personalized career path and several evolution perspectives within the Institution.
