SUMMARY OF CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN PSYCHIATRY

GENERAL ADULT PSYCHIATRY

I have held a total of 12 posts covering nearly six years, in adult psychiatry, from senior house officer to consultant level, during my career. These posts have been held predominately in the UK, but I have also enriched my experience of the specialty by training in different cultures abroad, including India, Bermuda and Australia.

* Adopting a holistic and participative approach to the patients’ care with the families, crisis team and the local community teams improved the utilisation of multi-disciplinary resources.
