I am a consultant in psychological medicine with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, splitting my time between the John Racliffe and Churchill Hospital sites. 

My interests are in the delivery of psychological medicine/ liaison psychiatry services. I worked on the HOME study – a multicentre RCT on proactive identification and management of psychological problems in older people on acute general hospital wards. CI - Prof. Michael Sharpe.
