Background
I began my psychiatric training in 2009 at South West London and St George’s (SWLStG). After taking maternity leave in 2013, I returned to higher training in 2014 on a less-than-full-time basis and completed my CCT in 2018.

Since qualifying, I have predominantly worked in old age psychiatry, with additional experience in general adult services across both inpatient and community settings. I have consistently supervised a wide range of resident doctors, including core and higher resident trainees in psychiatry, GP trainees, and foundation doctors.

In 2018, I was appointed less than full time (LTFT) Training Champion, and in 2020 I became Director of Medical Education at SWLStG. I moved to West London NHS Trust in November 2022 as Clinical Director for Older People’s Mental Health Services and have served as Deputy CMO for the past 18 months. I continue to maintain clinical practice one day a week.
