**** PLEASE NOTE I AM A SPECIALIST EATING DISORDER PSYCHIATRIST AND AS SUCH CAN ONLY SEE PATIENTS WANTING TO CONSULT IN RELATION TO THIS****

I qualified in Medicine from the University of Manchester in 1996. My post graduate training was at the Royal Free Hospital London and University College London. This involved working at leading Eating Disorder treatment centers in London with many renowned experts in the field.
I became a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2001. I completed my training in 2003 before taking a post as a Consultant in the NHS.
In 2006 I was appointed a consultant psychiatrist specialising in Eating Disorders at the Priory. I was elected to the executive Royal College of Psychiatrists Executive committee in 2011 where I advised on national policy making for 3 years. In 2012 I was appointed to the role of national Clinical Director for Eating Disorders for the Priory. This involved leadership of the 12 eating disorder units across the country.
I was the Clinical Lead for an inpatient unit in Manchester and have 17 years' experience working on an inpatient, daycare and outpatient setting treating patients with Eating Disorders.

I have been part of writing several national eating disorder documents and policies including MEED which is the Management of Medical Emergencies in Eating Disorders.
