CAREER AIM
________
I returned to India in September 2014, after having worked as a Consultant in the UK for over
9 years. My clinical skill-set is mainly in assessing and managing adult psychiatric disorders,
but also in General hospital psychiatry, Early intervention, and Adolescent neurodevelopmental psychiatry. The latter includes assessment and managed of a range of
developmental and psychiatric disorders in Young people.
I have a track record in the UK, of developing high quality mental health services and setting
up robust clinical governance and QA systems. More recently, I have had an active
educational and training role as the Deputy DME and Training Program Director for UG and
PG psychiatric training for the Manchester Deanery and Manchester Medical School. My
research interests are around liaison & primary care psychiatry. In recognition of my
contributions to psychiatry over the years, I was awarded a number of Clinical Excellence
Awards in the NHS and have recently been elected as a Fellow of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists.
For the future, I am keen to continue to develop and use my clinical skills to benefit my
patients, as well as to work to enhance Quality & Governance wherever I work in Hyderabad.

OVERVIEW OF CLINICAL TRAINING & EXPERIENCE
___
PRESENT POST (since September 2014)
Since returning to India, I have joined as a partner and a Senior Consultant at the Institute of
Medical Psychology- Asha Kiran hospitals in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad and at Citizens
Hospitals, Nallagandla.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE (until September 2014):
1. My most recent job in the UK before returning to India had two key components:
clinical and academic-teaching.
In June 2013, I was seconded to plan, set up and deliver a newly-commissioned
specialist transitional-ADHD service across Lancashire, UK (which has a population
of roughly 1.4 million). This involved a clinical needs assessment, planning the
service model, developing service specifications (including clinical outcome, audit &
quality measures), recruitment and selection of team members, setting up clinics and
running the service.
In my academic-teaching role, I was the Trust’s Clinical tutor (Dy DME eqv.) with
the remit of managing all (PG and UG) training in Lancashire Care Foundation NHS
Trust. I had an additional role as a Training Program Director at the North western
Deanery in Manchester, UK. I was also the Undergraduate training lead for
Manchester Medical School (as an honorary Senior Lecturer).
2. Consultant psychiatrist in an acute inpatient psychiatric unit for 16-18 years old young
people from Lancashire. I was involved in setting up and developing this service, as
well as working as a Consultant there from 2010-2013. I also acted as the Associate
Medical Director for the network during this period (from 2012-13).
3. Consultant psychiatrist in General Psychiatry at Avondale unit, Preston (Lancashire
Care Foundation NHS Trust) from July 2005 to February 2010. From 2005-7, my
clinical commitment involved managing a combined community-inpatient sector. I
5
was a dedicated inpatient Consultant from 2007 to February 2010. Other aspects of
this position included teaching/training responsibilities for speciality trainees (postgraduate, CT1), medical students, and research activities. Additional responsibilities:
lead consultant for ECT (ECTAS accredited clinic), program organiser for
postgraduate teaching in Central Lancashire, joint lead for undergraduate medical
education (Mental health placements for year 4 students from Manchester Medical
School posted in Preston).
4. Specialist registrar in General Adult Psychiatry in the North western deanery: 20032005: this involved specialist training at Senior Resident level with clinical, teaching
and research (as part of MSc dissertation) responsibilities. During this period of
training, I trained within the Manchester Liaison psychiatry service under Prof.
Guthrie and Prof. Dickens.
5. Senior House Officer (MRCPsych course) in Psychiatry under the Lancashire and
South Cumbria rotational training scheme in psychiatry from August 2000-May 2003:
this was a period of specialist training in various psychiatric specialities (equivalent to
junior resident- level).
6. Assistant Professor in Psychiatry from 1999-2000 at Institute of Mental Health,
Hyderabad, India, and Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, India (till July 2000): this
involved an active role in clinical work, and undergraduate & postgraduate psychiatric
teaching.
7. Senior Resident in Psychiatry in 1998-99 at the National Institute of Mental Health
and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India: this involved an active role in
clinical work, and undergraduate & postgraduate psychiatric teaching.
8. Junior Resident (MD course) in Psychiatry from 1995-1998 at the National Institute
of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India. During this
time, I trained in a number of clinical settings including a General Hospital setting at
St John’s Medical college hospital, Bangalore and the psycho-oncology service at
Kidwai Memorial hospital, Bangalore.
