Marjan Ghazirad

I am a consultant psychiatrist specialising in neurodevelopmental disorders and intellectual disabilities.  I am also an honorary senior clinical lecturer at Oxford University, teaching and tutoring medical students for the past ten years.

My special interests are occupational psychiatry (staff well-being) and medical education. I have conducted a number of studies in these fields including on the effects of brief Mindfulness on work related stress in hospital staff.  I am actively involved in undergrad and postgrad medical education. My current projects are: developing courses for medical educators’ well-being, resilience and compassion; and developing a simulated communication skills session involving patients with Neurodevelopmental Disorders for medical students.
