I am a fully qualified medical doctor, and my specialism is psychiatry. I am trained as a Consultant, with CST certification in general adult psychiatry, forensic psychiatry and substance misuse. I treat NHS patients at a hospital, and undertake medico-legal work in the same spheres, with a practice in criminal cases, as well as assessing psychiatric damage allegedly caused by the actions of officers of the state and other parties. I have reported in a number of cases of deaths in custody, instructed both by the Coroner and representatives of close families of the deceased.
