Dr Adam Flynn

I’m an ST4 in General Adult Psychiatry in Northern Ireland and the Human Rights rep for the College in NI.

I studied Law LLB at Trinity College Dublin from 2004-2008 including a year on Erasmus at the University of Leuven. I specialised in Public International Law and wrote my dissertation on Kosovo’s declaration of independence.

I then returned to Northern Ireland where I qualified as a solicitor in 2011, working mainly in Criminal Law and a number of high profile Troubles-related cases.

I subsequently studied Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Cork then entered foundation and Psychiatry training in Northern Ireland where I currently work in Acute adult inpatient and Home Treatment Services in Grangewood Hospital, Derry.

My interests lie at the intersection of the arts, psychiatry and Human Rights and have published in BJPsych on musical representations in dementia.
