I am an experienced Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist based in Leicestershire since 2007. I now work as a full-time Expert Witness after 25 years in the NHS.
From 2020-2023 I was Clinical Director at Arnold Lodge, a large and complex medium secure hospital. This is part of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, one of the largest providers of mental healthcare in the country.
As Clinical Director, I was responsible for all aspects of life for our community of staff and patients at the hospital. Prior to that I was employed as a Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist from 2007.
From 2011 to 2019 I was also employed by Health Education East Midlands as the East Midlands Training Programme Director for Forensic Psychiatry.
As Training Programme Director, I was responsible for overseeing the training of doctors specialising in Forensic Psychiatry in Leicester, Nottingham and Lincoln, as well as those based at Rampton Hospital near Retford.
I have worked in a range of services, including services specifically for men, women and people with personality disorder.
