Between 2000-2013 I was Clinical Director for Adult Mental Health Services and since November 2013 I am Associate Medical Director for Research, Innovation & Service Development at ELFT.
Clinical Management & Research:
As Clinical Director I have been leading on a turnaround process of mental health care in Newham/East London, developing mental health care services in Newham into a recognised centre of clinical excellence despite highest deprivation index / high morbidity rates and poorly resourced services with low number of acute beds in a busy inner-city London borough.
I have been providing input as expert advisor for DoH work-streams such community psychiatry, risk management and currently for the expansion of evidence based psychological therapy services (“IAPT”) for Severe Mental Illness and Long Term Conditions/ Medically unexplained Syndromes.
As a researcher I developed and evaluated novel psychological therapy intervention strategies for patients with severe mental illness ( chronic schizophrenia, chronic depression and somatoform disorders). I am currently piloting innovative and cost-effective recovery model care pathway elements, a new telehealth-based monitoring and communication tool for patients with severe and enduring mental illness and also a novel primary care pathway for patients with somatic distress disorders.
