An update on a change in roles. I'm looking forward to taking on the CMO role @MaudsleyNHS, but will very much miss friends & colleagues @westlondonnhs.
We are pleased to announce that Professor Derek Tracy will join us later this year as our new Chief Medical Officer. His reputation for clinical excellence and leadership will be invaluable as we work to provide outstanding mental health care. More here 👉 ow.ly/OacJ50SI4jP
Proud of the mental health team we set up for staff, and the tiered evidence-based model established. Proud of the people I worked with and the compassionate care they delivered. Proud to have been part of #TeamNightingale@NightingaleLDN .
This afternoon, unprompted, a consultant colleague offered to see some additional patients for a different team he knew was down medical cover due to #COVID19. Just the offer has me feeling so grateful - we will need each other in the coming days. #WeAreTheNHS
To our service users, carers, & staff from 🇪🇺 #EU27 countries: you are so very welcome & valued in our @OxleasNHS family.
We will never tolerate hostility towards anyone because of who they are or where they are from.
Do contact me directly if any concerns: [email protected]
Thank you to @KingsIoPPN where I cut my teeth, my @MScMHSIoPPN students who push me every week, @TheBJPsych for indulging my...ahem editorial idiosyncrasies, and @OxleasNHS for putting up with me.
Next, Psychiatric Communicator of the Year is awarded to @derektracy1 - part of the editorial board of @TheBJPsych and author of its Kaleidoscope & Highlights columns. Judges applaud Derek for his work “breaking down barriers and stigma against mental health” #RCPsychAwards
