Medical Doctor – General Adult Psychiatry – General Internal Medicine, Clinical Pharmacology & Adverse Drug Reactions, Medical Research

My clinical duties as a medical doctor include assessing, reviewing and diagnosing patients in outpatient and inpatient settings with complex physical and mental health presentations, reviewing their test and lab results.As I specialize in complex prescribing and have extensive knowledge in adverse drug reactions, I work closely with other specialties and advise how to prescribe new medications or alter existing ones. I usually review from 5 to a maximum of 15 patients a day, either by telephone, virtual video platforms or face to face consultations as needed. Very frequently I have to manage patient treatment plans who have adversely reacted to their current medications or are non-compliant with them. Furthermore I have special clinics where by I extensively review patients with highly complex presentations that require diagnosis and treatment.I have experience managing cardiovascular, respiratory, diabetes and obesity, endocrine, neurological, neurodevelopmental, orthopaedic, rheumatological and psychiatric patients. I have worked with patients with strokes, Dementia - Alzheimer\'s, Vascular Dementia, Lewy Body, Dementia, Mixed Dementia, Pick\'s Disease, Neurological Disorders, Parkinson\'s, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neuron, Disease, Huntington\'s disease, Cancer, HIV, End of Life Care. I have a special interest in infection management, respiratory infection management, chronic pain medicine and anaesthesia drugs. I have published a paper in a teaching Journal for the European Respiratory Society.Extensive experience in General Adult Psychiatry and Patient Management – Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Affective Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Delusional Disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, Autism/ASD, Learning Disabilities, Perinatal Psychiatry, Traumatic Brain Injury, Neurology, Pain management, Fibromyalgia, Functional/Conversion Neurological Disorders, Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Drugs and Alcohol, Eating Disorders, Suicide, Personality Disorders. Experience in outpatient, inpatient, liason, Acute settings, ECT, rTMS.Extensive experience in Older Adult Psychiatry – Dementia - Alzheimer\'s, Vascular Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, Mixed Dementia, Pick\'s Disease, Neurology, Parkinson\'s, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease, Huntington\'s disease.Experienced teacher of clinical pharmacology with a focus on psychopharmacology and adverse drug reactions.Complex prescribing in all age groups, with multiple drugs for patients with epilepsy, cancer, HIV, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular and diabetes.
