I am an established consultant with over 25 years of experience as an Old Age Psychiatrist. I have specialist skills in the assessment of memory problems, cognitive dysfunction, neuropsychiatric syndromes, and affective conditions such as anxiety and depressive disorders as well as psychotic illnesses in the elderly.
I have a track record of developing and establishing mental health services in my field of work, having held various management, research, and educator roles in Leicester for the years. I am an Honorary Professor with the De Montford University and also hold an Honorary Senior Lecturer position with the University of Leicester.
I have significant clinical and service research interests and publications in my field. Nationally, I chaired the Quality network for Older Adults Mental Health services that in 2016 produced National Quality Standards for Older Peoples Inpatient Care; all current national older people’s inpatient units in the national network receive their accreditation against these standards. I have medico legal interests, training and qualifications; regularly providing special and expert witness evidence in civil and criminal cases.
I am a (one of only 80 or so nationally) Special Visitor to the Office of Public Guardian and the Court of Protection providing assessments and reports to the Court. I have held many Faculty roles within the Old Age Faculty of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and have shaped policy decisions.
