    SAS Psychiatrists Committee

    The SAS Psychiatrists Committee supports Specialty and Specialist psychiatrists; both those with MRCPsych and those in the Affiliate membership grades.

    I am a Specialist in Rehabilitation Psychiatry in Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and a Fellow of the Royal College.

    I graduated from Southampton University in 1997 and have worked as a SAS Doctor since 2004.

    I have been privileged to work in leadership roles in clinical settings, education (as associate Director of Medical Education for Dorset Healthcare) and on behalf of SAS Doctors. I was SAS lead for Southern Health Foundation Trust for many years and oversaw the development of both clinical and leadership opportunities for our doctors. 

    As Vice Chair, my roles include being a member of the International Congress Advisory Board and I'm currently part of the group considering the next steps for the College's guidance on Continuing Professional Development. 

    I have a passion for empowering us as SAS doctors to fulfill our potential and promoting our essential voice within the College.
