Dr Malik is greatly appreciated for supporting and encouraging Cygnet Churchill doctors in their career progression e.g. MRCPsych exams and CESR pathway.

Dr Malik has led on Co-production of Pilot Rehab care plans that allowed more collaborative working between the professionals and the patients. As a result, patients are taking responsibility of their care plans.

Dr Suhana Ahmed
Suhana embodies the College's values, making a profound difference in her clinical team to her patients, their care networks, and her staff; in the older persons' service line she runs as Clinical Director in West London, where she has transformed the ethos and culture, turning around a struggling division in a little over a year; and nationally through the London Division and other College work where she remains a beacon of integrity, hard work, and compassionate leadership.
Her story inspires many, including me. Her empathic, warm and caring style is influenced by her upbringing and personality, and she has been frank and honest about the difficulties she has endured, including in her own struggles with mental illness. She has used this to forge opportunities for others to speak up in confidence. She remains a role model for so many, not least other future women leaders, particularly from minority ethnic backgrounds. Time and again Suhana breaks glass ceilings for others to follow, and she lives the principles of lift as you climb.
She remains a humble and unassuming person, and I know she would be the first to put others forward for such an accolade, and the last to accept it herself. I wish to speak out on her behalf, knowing that she would not do it herself. I am entirely confident I only echo what so many others will say about her.

Award Winners 2023
The London Division are pleased to announce the winners of their second local Division Awards for 2023:
Valerie Cai
Valerie is a Medical Student at King’s College London, she is a Perinatal Faculty Psych Star, Royal College of Psychiatrists and she is also Co-president at King’s College London Psychiatry Society. Valerie was nominated a number of times by various people including Ali Gibson, Natasha Binnie, Frances Weston, and Emelia Pasternak-Albert.
Valerie has contributed an astonishing amount to the field of psychiatry. Most notably, she has co-founded a start-up called PuffiN, a platform for wellbeing support for new parents, which got to the finals of the Mayor’s Entrepreneurship Competition 2023. Valerie is also the Perinatal Faculty Psych Star.
At Kings College London, Valerie is co-president of Psych Soc, an extremely active psych soc which has achieved a lot with Valerie’s leadership alongside co-president Ali who was also shortlisted today, and Emilia, who writes the psych soc newsletter. Through Psych Soc, Valerie seeks to collaborate with other societies such as Medical Ethics and Law, Medical Humanities, Emergency Medicine, KCL Open Minds Society, and more.
As well as leadership skills, Valerie is also an organiser. She initiated and delivered the UK’s first 6th form outreach programme to inspire students interested in mental health to pursue a career in medicine and psychiatry. She also organised the 2023 National Student Psychiatry Conference.
Academically, Valerie did an interesting project on gender identity in Klinefelter syndrome.
Valerie must work tirelessly to achieve so much at this stage in her career. She has no doubt impacted many lives through her inspiring work.
Dr James Cai
Dr Cai is a Foundation Doctor at East London NHS Foundation Trust and was nominated by Dr Ian Hall.
James stood out to the panel due to his drive for improvement, learning and pursuit of excellence in clinical care. Such a strong grasp of evidence-based practice, holistic management and working inter-professionally was impressive, particularly for a doctor so early on in his career. He has left a remarkable impact on his colleagues in just a four-month placement in intellectual disability psychiatry.
James took the initiative to upskill students and MDT colleagues on issues that are particularly pertinent to this patient group such as maintaining awareness of diagnostic overshadowing and making reasonable adjustments to improve capacity. He thoughtfully arranged additional interdisciplinary reviews for patients and was a key team member of the service QI project. His contribution was a fantastic example of feeding into the provision of every day excellent patient care and tackling health inequalities.
Dr Aikaterini Dima
Dr Dima is a Clinical Research Associate equivalent to CT3 at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and was nominated by Dr Cecilia Casetta.
Aikaterini demonstrated a real passion for clinical and academic psychiatry through her work at the National Psychosis Unit, and she was recognised for her ability to build professional and understanding relationships with some of the most unwell patients in the country. She was also recognised as working sensitively and creatively with the clinical team in the service and contributed to a positive environment. She was seen as being available to support her peers and encouraging medical students to embark on a career in psychiatry.
As well as clinical work, she has been involved in research, contributing to empowering service users to be more involved in research projects, and improving physical healthcare in mental health settings. We wish Aikaterini ongoing success in her training and future career.
Dr Josephine Fielding
Dr Fielding is a Higher Trainee at West London NHS Trust and was nominated by Dr Michael Yousif.
Josephine is the national trainee representative for the RCPsych Medical Psychotherapy Faculty. She secured recurrent funding for the trainee conference, developed supportive trainee networks, and improved Faculty resources for medical students. She organised two national conferences and chaired conference sessions.
She also developed a local pilot for primary care-psychotherapy integration and led a multi-agency collaboration on an audit of deliberate self-harm assessments in liaison, recruiting and supervising auditors from mental health, acute trusts, and local authority.
Colleagues have said of Dr Fielding that she is an exemplary doctor, a major asset to any service fortunate enough to have her, an incredible practitioner who is able to integrate both the medical theory and the psychological underpinning.
“Not only is Josie amazing with the patients she is also exceptional with the staff. She is compassionate, understanding and also willing to help. She can identify how people are feeling in the team and respond to their needs.”
Margaret Whipp
Margaret is a carer and was nominated by our very own Dr Suhana Ahmed.
Margaret works in the South London and Maudsley Foundation Trust whilst also caring for her eldest son who was diagnosed in 2016 with a long-term serious mental illness.
Margaret’s journey has been remarkable and inspiring. Having given up work to care for her son she then became heavily involved in volunteering work providing carer support services as well as devising and assisting education and training. She has worked with Lambeth hospital to improve weekend admissions by setting up Weekend Safety Huddles and with Lewisham CAMHS as a graduate parent on their NVR parenting class. She has become a Peer Supporter in the Lewisham EIP Carer Peer support group and is also a carer representative on the Healthy London Partnership Mental Health Transformation Board. Since 2022 she has been participating in the new Seni Lewis training programme.
The panel felt that her collaborative and co-production work was evident in so many areas.
With all of this Margaret is modest and unassuming. “I’m just a mum” is her response to any praise. She is clearly far more than that and is a worthy winner of the Award.
Dr Amrit Sachar
Dr Sachar is a Liaison Psychiatry Consultant at West London NHS Trust and was nominated by Dr Derek Tracy.
Amrit’s array of accomplishments is too vast to outline in just a few lines. In her Trust she has convened and chaired a co-produced working group for international medical graduates, utilising QI methodology to optimise implementation of the national guide for employers. Several Trust senior leaders have commended it as their ‘favourite forum’ due to its democratic space.
She’s the College equality champion for the Liaison Faculty, and developed a new conference equality charter, signed off by Council, ensuring events are representative of membership, and provide a significant platform for patients and carers. Amrit is a member of the College Tackling Racism in the Workplace group, helping develop guidance for employers and employees on redressing this and increasing equality.
In addition to this, she runs a very busy liaison service, has set up a National Kidney Psychosocial Working-group with Kidney Care UK and published pragmatic research on implementing their guidelines.
Dr Tracy stated in his nomination, "I can think of no psychiatrist who better exemplifies the College values, particularly courage. Dr Sachar has shown bravery and fortitude in standing up for what she believes in for her patients and colleagues, particularly equality and diversity." And the judging panel wholeheartedly agree.
Dr Evan Picton-Jones
Dr Picton-Jones is a SAS Doctor in West London NHS Trust and was nominated by Dr Derek Tracey.
The report from the judges stated that both nominations were impressive and had different qualities against which they were reviewed. Dr Picton-Jones stood out with impactful medical management and leadership roles. In particular, there has been support and advocacy for SAS doctors, as Trust Director for SAS Doctor Development, including implementing new SAS contracts and procuring a larger budget for SAS doctor development. In addition, he is MAC Chair and co-chair of the LNC and described as “respected and trusted by colleagues and leadership alike, and has a thoughtful, compassionate manner of engagement and bringing people together.”
Evan has also shown how he is "an outstanding clinician” and “truly [is] a person of broad talent.” This includes leading on digital integration work, medical lead supporting non-medical prescribers as an Appraiser and as a PI supporting academic work and research.
The Psychiatric Eye Editorial Team
The Psychiatric Eye Editorial Team is a group of psychiatrists from all over London that produce the bi-annual newsletter for all the members in London and was nominated by Karen Morgan.
The Psychiatric Eye Editorial Team have put together a great initiative which provides a high-quality service to all psychiatrists in London. They produce very informative and interesting publications as well as providing a host of indirect benefits. They are dedicated and work extremely hard, in their own personal time, on each of these to include all aspects of mental health with a diverse input that has a positive impact on mental health services.
Though this team has no direct patient care through this role (they do in their everyday jobs as Psychiatrists), they are there to support psychiatrists by providing them with up-to-date research, share lived experiences, sharing of best practice, highlight innovative treatment and care for those with mental health issues and to showcase the excellent work that psychiatrists are doing in the Division. By doing this it not only enriches the knowledge for psychiatrists and raises awareness of updates in treatment and mental health care, it also helps to raise morale for those who are feeling the stress of being a psychiatrist.
The team work hard on the newsletter to provide a “feel good factor” about mental health care provision in London and to raise the positive image of psychiatry against the more well-known areas of physical health care.
Dr Nick Hipkins
Dr Hipkins is a Consultant Psychiatrist from West London NHS Trust, and he was nominated by Dr Daniel Andrews.
Dr Nick Hipkins is a worthy winner of the RCPsych London Division Educator Award having shown excellence in medical education contributing to the training of medical students and doctors at all stages of their training as well as colleagues in the MDT. He has consistently received excellent feedback in the GMC survey.
He has focused on the wellbeing and pastoral care of trainees, serving as a positive role model for our profession and raising the positive image of psychiatry. Of particular note is his innovative involvement of his therapy dog to engage with colleagues, the team, and patients alike and he literally does go the extra mile, giving his time to go jogging with trainees!
