COVID-19 INFORMATION
During this unprecedented time I will continue to offer assessments and treatment to both newly referred and existing patients. Current Department of Health guidance is that all appointments should be undertaken using video or telephone when possible. Following a referral I would discuss with you whether a video consultation or face-to-face appointment is required in your particular circumstances. If you have any questions or require further information about this then please contact me. Most insurers are permitting video consultation during this period but please check with your insurer that this (and my fees) are claimable before proceeding. I am a Consultant Psychiatrist working both in the NHS and privately in the Coventry and Warwickshire region. My private practice clinics are held at Rother House Medical Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon and Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital, Leamington Spa. Unfortunately at present The Nuffield Health Warwickshire clinic is postponed until further notice due to COVID, but I can temporarily see patients either over video or in Stratford, and then transfer the care to The Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital once this is available again. I am experienced in the assessment and treatment of people over the age of 18 with mental health problems, including for depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and dementia. In particular I have experience in the assessment and treatment of older people with mental health problems. I also have significant experience in the legal assessment of capacity. I am able to accept referrals for anyone over the age of 18 who has mental health problems unless the issue relates to a mental health problem from childhood. In addition I accept referrals for capacity assessments, for example Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection assessments. I am recognised by most of the major healthcare insurers including BUPA and AXA Health (please refer to Referral Procedure for more details). Please note I offer a clinic-based service but not inpatient services. Therefore if you believe that you require admission to hospital please discuss this with your GP or insurer who can recommend suitable hospitals. Private Practice Addresses
