Current NHS consultant posts held

I do not currently hold an NHS post. My last NHS post was Consultant Psychiatrist in general adult psychiatry at Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne & Wear NHS Foundation Trust (to January 2021). My previous post was Consultant Psychiatrist in general adult psychiatry at NHS Lothian & Honorary clinical senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh.

Research interests

My main research interests have been in psychological therapies for mental illness (including depression and eating disorders). My research training was at the Medical Research Council Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry where I researched into family intervention in the treatment of depression and public education to reduce stigma in mental illness. Subsequently I have published research into the treatment of eating disorders.
