He has been working as a Consultant Psychiatrist, for the last 17 years working at both Guy’s Hospital and The Maudsley Hospital, London. He treats a range of mental health problems, including those that present to a general hospital, such as the mental health consequences of physical disease and persistent physical symptoms and more typical mental health presentations, such as depression, anxiety disorders, OCD and adjustment disorders.
We talk about writing, the new book, clinic letter writing (how this respects the person/patient and the receiving clinician), the art and science of medicine, the challenge of psychiatry, medical training, medically unexplained symptoms, communication, the person first approach and more. As ever, we squeeze a lot into an hour!
