GMC Number: 5188727
I was appointed General Adult Consultant Psychiatrist in 2010. In this role I have diagnosed and treated patients with enduring mental health problems, namely schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and emotionally unstable personality disorder. I have managed patients in the community and an in-patient unit. I also have experience of managing patients in a psychiatric intensive care unit.
I have been a Clinical Director in an adult mental health service for six years. In this role, along with the directorate team I oversaw all aspects of the directorate’s business, ie. quality improvement, operational performance, finance management.
I have given evidence at Mental Health Review Tribunals and investigated complaints in my organisation.
In recent years I have diagnosed and treated adults with ADHD and autism. It has been rewarding to see improvements in patients who have commenced ADHD treatment.
I regularly attend training and conferences to update my knowledge and skills. This helps me in managing my patients with recent evidence-based approaches.
