Dr Thomas Dixon

Consultant Psychiatrist

I am a Consultant Psychiatrist working for an older adults community team in South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust, having completed training across the other South London trusts. I have an interest in digital solutions and was previously Associate Chief Clinical Information Officer in my trust before life got in the way.

I am forever juggling a busy work life with being a good enough parent. To achieve this ambition I seek to be as efficient as possible and stand firm in my eternal battle against procrastination and distraction.
