My mission is to dispel fear and stigma about dementia such as Alzheimer's disease as early diagnosis gives a good prognosis with access to treatments and support to slow down the progression of the disease with the aim of a good quality of life for my patients. I completed my undergraduate medical training in 1996. After completing house jobs I worked for a year in general medicine before specialising in psychiatry. I trained in psychiatry in Birmingham and the West Midlands. I qualified as a consultant in 2006 and have been working in old age psychiatry since, with over 15 years' experience as a dementia specialist. I became an NHS Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry in Cheltenham in March 2008. I have a special interest in brain scans with access to the latest scanning technology such as 3 Tesla (high resolution) MRI and PET (both glucose and amyloid) scans which facilitate ruling out or the very early diagnosis of dementia. I'm funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) as a Principal Investigator for several clinical trials for newer treatments for Dementia and am clinical lead for Division 4 of the NIHR: West of England Clinical Research Network. I have been appointed as Visiting Professor at the School of Health & Social Care, University of Gloucestershire. I have authored several peer-reviewed publications and conference posters. I also carry out medico-legal reports having extensive experience in mental capacity assessments such as capacity to appoint a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), capacity to manage finances, Court of Protection reports and the capacity to make a Will.
