CAREER SYNOPSIS
House Officer Appointments
As house physician to Dr W R Gauld I worked on a general medical ward and as house
surgeon to Mr A Davidson and Mr D W Blair I worked on a busy general surgical ward.
Both appointments were at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
Senior House Officer and Registrar Appointments
These appointments were on the three year rotational training scheme based on the Royal
Edinburgh Hospital. I undertook the following placements: general psychiatry and drug
dependence (Dr W D Boyd), general psychiatry and sleep disorders (Prof I Oswald),
alcoholism (Dr E B Ritson), psychogeriatrics (Dr R A Robinson and Dr A Jacques), liaison
psychiatry and poisons unit (Prof R E Kendell, Prof I Oswald and Dr N Kreitman) and
rehabilitation psychiatry (Dr J W Affleck).
The training also included supervised in-patient psychotherapy groups (Dr Ritson), out-
patient psychotherapy groups (Dr Ritson and Dr P O'Farrell) and individual psychotherapy
(Dr O'Farrell). I was also supervised in the conjoint behavioural approach to marital and
sexual problems (Dr J Bancroft).
Lecturer in Psychiatry and Honorary Senior Registrar appointments
As honorary senior registrar to Professor (now Sir) David Goldberg I was mainly responsible
to him for running his general psychiatry firm at the University Hospital of South
Manchester. However, I also gained experience in the psychiatric sequelae of cancer
(Dr G P Maguire), affective disorders (Dr E Szabadi), transsexualism (Professor Goldberg),
forensic psychiatry including R.S.U. and prison work (Dr A Campbell) and I was responsible
to Prof Goldberg for providing a liaison psychiatry service to the Professorial Medical Unit. I
was also the senior registrar responsible for the ward for violent and potentially violent
patients.
I was responsible for introducing a new system for the psychiatric records based on 'The New
Aberdeen Medical Record'.
Senior Lecturer and Consultant Psychiatrist with Special Interest in Liaison Psychiatry
I was third consultant in the Professorial Psychiatric Unit at St James's University Hospital,
Leeds, where I was responsible for contributing to the provision of a general psychiatry
service primarily to East Leeds. The post included a special interest in liaison psychiatry
which meant that in practice I organised the Parasuicide Assessment Service, provided a
consultation psychiatry service to the rest of the hospital and to Seacroft and Killingbeck
Hospitals and provided liaison psychiatry services to the Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit,
the Accident and Emergency Department, the Palliative Care Team and the Neurology
Service.
My senior house officer was on the medical rotation and in organising the training of this
doctor I tried to ensure that the S.H.O. had sufficient involvement in consultation psychiatry
to make better use of a consultation-liaison psychiatry service in his or her subsequent career
7
in medicine. I provided training in clinical skills to the S.H.O. on an individual basis using
videotaped recordings of interviews with patients.
One of my first tasks when I arrived in the Professorial Psychiatric Unit was to prepare 'A
Guide for Trainees in the Professorial Psychiatric Unit' which dealt with various day-to-day
matters such as case summaries, out patient clinic arrangements, procedure for admissions
and discharges, the nature and format of supervision etc. It was the development of these
guidelines to cover various other aspects of day-to-day practice, some relevant to psychiatric
trainees in general, which led to the publication of the 'Handbook for Trainee Psychiatrists'
which I edited and which was published by Baillière Tindall in 1987.
I assisted Dr Snaith, then psychiatric tutor, in the provision of interview skills training to the
trainee psychiatrists. In order to keep up-to-date in this area I attended a course for
psychiatric tutors organised by the University of Manchester Department of Psychiatry.
In order to save the time of my secretary and S.H.O. I introduced wordprocessed admission
and discharge summaries. The greatest savings are in the long-term when patients with
summaries already on file are readmitted. This approach also ensures that important sections
are not omitted by trainees from their summaries and it facilitates the audit of summaries and
care programmes.
I became a member of the recently resurrected St James's University Hospital Medical
Records Committee. Before joining the committee I was responsible for the introduction of
'coloured dividers' to the hospital records and the system of filing investigation results and
nursing records etc together rather than by specialty. Eventually, more than 15 years later,
when the new system for records at St James's was introduced, my major contribution to this
was the inclusion of integrated filing of correspondence and summaries irrespective of
specialty. I had already introduced this for some of the more complicated 'liaison' patients
under my care and other selected patients. The new system for records in the Leeds
Community and Mental Health Services Teaching NHS Trust was also based on my
recommendations.
I had regular meetings with local probation officers and the staff of the Roundhay Road
Social Services Day Centre.
For six years I held two out-patient clinics a month at the Shaftesbury Medical Centre and
had a monthly meeting with its primary health care team. I then started a clinic at the
practice's new Church View Medical Centre and one at the new nearby Ashfield Medical
Centre with a different general practice team.
Consultant Psychiatrist, St James's University Hospital, Leeds
I was one of two general psychiatrists who provided a general psychiatry service to a group
of general practices with surgeries and health centres along the axis of the York Road. They
included one of the practices where I did outpatient clinics in my previous post so I continued
to provide a service for their patients in this post. My services included provision for
inpatients, day patients and outpatients.
My initial task on taking up the appointment, which followed an eighteen month period since
the retirement of the previous consultant, was to draw up a case register of 'active' and
8
'discharged' patients. This included a means of identifying vulnerable patients for whom
particular aftercare safeguards needed to be established and for whom I held
multiprofessional outpatient reviews in accordance with the provisions for aftercare arising
out of the NHS and Community Care Act. This was developed, before I left, into an
embryonic 'supervision register' in accordance with the then DoH proposals for such registers
to be maintained by all provider units from October 1994.
In my previous post I had taken advantage of my office and other facilities in the University's
Clinical Sciences Building to establish a Staff Clinic (for University and N.H.S. staff) where
staff could be seen discreetly away from the ordinary psychiatric outpatient clinic in the
psychiatric unit. This clinic continued in this post.
Consultant Psychiatrist, Leeds Community and Mental Health Services Teaching NHS
Trust
From May 1994 to January 1998 I had half-time responsibility for providing a general
psychiatry service to Leeds 13 with beds at High Royds Hospital, Menston, and outpatient
and day patient facilities at St Mary's Hospital, Leeds. The other half of the post was as a
'Reed' consultant working with mentally disordered offenders on an inpatient, outpatient, day
patient and community basis, liaising with agencies such as the courts, police and probation
service and visiting mentally disordered offenders with Leeds connections in prisons, secure
units and special hospitals. I was involved in the development of the Potentially Dangerous
Offenders Policy of the West Yorkshire Probation Service which eventually led to the nation-
wide introduction of Multi-Agency Public Protection procedures (‘MAPPA’).
Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, Leeds Community and Mental Health Services
Teaching NHS Trust
In 1997 the Trust confirmed my appointment as a consultant forensic psychiatrist and from
1st February 1998 my sole responsibility was to assist in the provision of a forensic
psychiatry service to Leeds. I was the lead consultant in the Leeds Magistrates' Courts Mental
Health Assessment and Diversion Scheme. I provided a clinical service through inpatient
beds on a locked and an unlocked ward at High Royds Hospital, outpatient clinics at
St. James's University Hospital and community care. I worked closely with the police,
probation service, courts and prisons.
I resigned from this post on 30th June 2000.
Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, The Grange, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire
Since 1st July 2000 I have been working primarily as an independent consultant forensic
psychiatrist from The Grange which provides consulting room, library, administrative and
other facilities for psychiatrists, psychologists and other health professionals who carry out
medicolegal work. I have continued to see general and forensic patients on a ‘courtesy’ (non-
fee paying) basis. Between 2000 and 2005, I undertook locum consultant appointments in
general adult, forensic, old age and prison inreach psychiatry in the NHS and in forensic
learning disability in the private sector.
9
Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, Cygnet Hospital Wyke
Since June 2006 I have been a visiting consultant forensic psychiatrist at Cygnet Hospital,
Wyke. I am responsible for male patients on the psychiatric intensive care unit. All of my
patients are NHS patients for whom an NHS bed is not available. About a quarter are
admitted directly from the community, about a half are transferred from NHS psychiatric
hospitals and units in which they have been unmanageable and about a half are admitted from
police stations and prisons. In 2009, on one occasion, a half of my patients had been under
my care in the NHS and I had first had responsibilty for the care of one of these men in 1989.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
In Aberdeen I organised a series of evening classes on alcoholism and a postgraduate medical
symposium on alcoholism.
At Edinburgh I lectured to medical students and nursing students (general and psychiatric)
and I lectured to Dr Bancroft's Human Sexuality Training Group.
At Manchester I contributed to medical undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. I
organised the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Module for the M.Sc. in Clinical Psychiatry. I also
lectured on psychiatry to nursing students, social work students, occupational therapy
students and speech therapy students including organising a complete lecture course for the
speech therapy and OT students. I participated as an experimental subject in a research
project evaluating methods of teaching senior registrars to train medical students in
interviewing skills.
I was regularly engaged as a tutor at the Scottish School on Alcoholism until I left Scotland
and from the opening of the Alcohol Studies Centre at Paisley College of Technology in 1979
until 2002 I regularly lectured on the C.N.A.A.-approved Certificate and Diploma in Alcohol
Studies courses and Diploma in Substance Misuse which were established with the Scottish
Home and Health Department and the Scottish Education Department. I was the longest
serving teacher on the course at what is now the Centre for Alcohol and Drug Studies of the
University of Paisley.
In my first post in Leeds I contributed to undergraduate and postgraduate medical education
in psychiatry. I was the Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry's Postgraduate Curriculum
Committee which is responsible for the M.Med.Sc. course in Clinical Psychiatry. On this
course I taught in the following areas: liaison psychiatry, parasuicide and diagnosis and
classification. I served on the committee which set up the English National Board Course in
Community Psychiatric Nursing in Leeds. I have taught psychiatry to LL.B. and M.A.
(Criminal Justice Studies) students at the University of Leeds and the University of Sheffield
and to pupil barristers on the North Eastern Circuit.
I organised the first three Leeds Psychopathology Symposia on 'The Psychopathology of
Depression' (1984), 'The Psychopathology of Body Image' (1986) and 'The Psychopathology
of Perception' (1988). I edited the proceedings of the 1986 symposium and they appeared as
a supplement to the British Journal of Psychiatry. The proceedings of the third symposium
were been published in the journal Psychopathology.
10
For six years I ran a course "Working with Psychiatric Problems in Probation" for the
Northern Region of the Regional Staff Development Organisation of the Probation Service.
This was a five day residential course in which I was assisted by three probation officer
tutors. An account of this course was published in the Bulletin of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists.
As a teaching hospital consultant I had various opportunities to contribute to undergraduate
and postgraduate medical teaching. I made the first of a series of videotapes on the Mental
Health Act 1983 for trainee psychiatrists.
In response to frequent requests to contribute to local teaching and training events concerning
the criminal justice process I have written a play which begins with a homicide in a
psychiatric ward and ends in a Crown Court trial. Trainee psychiatrists play different parts in
the play, reading from their scripts, dressing up as policemen, barristers, judge, etc., as a
means of familiarising them with aspects of, and issues in, the criminal justice process such
as the role of witnesses, statements, fitness to be detained and interviewed and court
procedure. It takes about three hours to perform with an interval and discussion and questions
between scenes. Sometimes when the play has been performed I have also arranged an
afternoon session concerning witness skills with the assistance of members of the local bar.
In response to a request to run a workshop on civil procedure I wrote another ‘play’. This one
relates to a claim for compensation following an industrial accident. It begins with the
‘experts’ meeting’ and it ends with the trial in the High Court. Although written for
consultants with little or no experience of civil court procedure it is also suitable for trainee
psychiatrists. It follows the same format at the ‘play’ on the criminal justice process.
I have organised a number of seminars for consultants and senior (specialist) registrars in
psychiatry concerning practical aspects of forensic psychiatry. These usually involve the
participation of a solicitor, senior police surgeon, social worker, barrister, police officer or a
medical defence organisation representative.
I wrote the entire ‘script’ for the ‘mock’ Mental Health Review Tribunal which was the 1998
joint meeting of the Leeds Division of the British Medical Association and the Leeds and
West Riding Medico-Legal Society. I played the part of the patient, ‘The Mad Axeman of
Pudsey’, who was appealing against his detention.
In 1999 I organised a local meeting for the Expert Witness Institute involving two local
judges and a local solicitor in order to bring the new Civil Procedure Rules to the attention of
professionals, from a range of disciplines, who provide expert opinions for the civil courts.
I was the main organiser of the First Grange Residential Conference held in 2001 at The
George Hotel, Stamford. Although primarily for psychologists and psychiatrists at The
Grange, it was also open to other psychiatrists and psychologists engaged in medico-legal
work. A circuit judge and an academic barrister contributed to the programme along with
psychologists and psychiatrists from The Grange and outside. It was a successful event which
is now repeated on an annual basis and I continue to be the lead organiser.
As Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Law at De Montfort University, I share
responsibility for the ‘Mental Health Law’ module on the LLM in Medical Law and Ethics. I
11
supervise students whose dissertation subjects are in the areas of mental health law and
professional regulation.
As Visiting Professor in the Department of Postgraduate Medical Education at the University
of Chester I am assisting in the development of courses in medico-legal studies.
FORENSIC EXPERIENCE
My first experience of offenders and ex-offenders was in 1966 when I lived in a hostel for
alcoholic offenders in East London. It was run by a Methodist minister who had been
appointed M.B.E. for pioneering a prison visiting system in Singapore. Between 1966 and
1975 I spent most Christmas and Summer vacations working for him. His projects included
'dry' and 'wet' houses and hostels and supported housing for ex-offenders and people with
alcohol and drug problems. Some hostel residents were admitted on release from prison and I
had experience of assessing them prior to release. There were many opportunities to liaise
with statutory and other voluntary agencies working with ex-offenders, mentally disordered
offenders and people with alcohol and drug problems in the London area. I was involved in
the organisation of the first 'Crisis at Christmas' project which still continues as the charity
'Crisis'.
In 1973 I organised an interview study of drunken offenders appearing before the Aberdeen
Burgh Police Court and ensured representation of the Grampian Police and the Prison
Department when establishing the Aberdeen Council on Alcoholism. Also in 1973 I visited
the St Louis Detoxification Centre, in St Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. It was the first and, at the
time of my visit, one of the few detoxification centres in the world.
As an honorary senior registrar in psychiatry in Manchester I worked in Elton Ward of
Prestwich Hospital (the forerunner of the regional secure unit) and at HMP Manchester under
the supervision of Dr Angus Campbell who taught me about writing court reports and giving
evidence in court. Since 1983 I have been a visiting consultant psychiatrist at HM Prison
Leeds. Up to 2000 this involved working closely with the Prison Medical Service and the
regional and sub-regional forensic services to enhance the service for Leeds residents in the
prison and, in particular, to promote rapid transfers of prisoners to outside hospitals for
assessment or treatment and arrange appropriate aftercare for prisoners being released to live
in Leeds. Since 2000 this has been more of an ad hoc role.
Following the Emes Enquiry into suicides at H.M. Prison, Leeds, I was invited to be a
member of the newly established Suicide Prevention Committee. Through my links with the
Leeds Samaritans I was able to facilitate the involvement of the Leeds Samaritans in the
committee and in the prison in general.
On my arrival in Leeds in 1983 I fostered good relations between police surgeons and the
psychiatric services. As a result consultants and senior registrars on call give second opinions
to police surgeons/forensic medical examiners on request and the diversion of mentally
disordered people from police custody to hospital care has been facilitated. I was
instrumental in establishing a pilot mental health assessment and diversion scheme for the
Leeds District Magistrates' Courts. The project ran for 13 weeks in Autumn 1992 on three
mornings a week. The scheme was greatly appreciated by the Magistrates, the C.P.S., the
police, the Probation Service and the Law Society. The results of the study were published.
At the same time I established and initially chaired a Mentally Disordered Offenders Steering
12
Group for the Leeds Metropolitan District Petty Sessional Division. This group became the
Mentally Disordered Offenders Partnership Group and addressed a number of issues related
to the provision of services for mentally disordered offenders in Leeds. I obtained a research
grant of £30,000 to study over the course of one year two alternative approaches to the
assessment and diversion of mentally disordered offenders appearing before the Leeds
Magistrates’ Court. A post-registration research fellow/honorary registrar was appointed to
work with the project. The results have been published. There is a detailed account of the
project in Care or Custody? Mentally Disordered Offenders in the Criminal Justice System
by Judith M. Laing (Oxford University Press, 1999) and in which the author comments:
“Much of this has been due to the efforts of committed individuals, such as Dr. Keith Rix and
his colleagues, who have clearly demonstrated the benefits which can be gained” (p. 224).
I have supervised trainee psychiatrists' research projects in forensic psychiatry. They include
studies of deliberate self-harm in a large prison for remand and sententenced prisoners and of
obstacles to the transfer of severely mentally ill prisoners from prison to hospital for
treatment. With one trainee I have written a case report of a man with 'myxoedematous
madness' who was charged with attempted murder and with another a case report of a man
who appealed successfully against the imposition of restrictions on his discharge under
section 41 of the Mental Health Act 1983.
I was a member of the Prison Advisory Group of the Department of Health and Home Office
Review of Health and Social Services for Mentally Disordered Offenders and Others with
Similar Needs (the Reed Review). My experience, as a general psychiatrist liaising with the
forensic services and the local remand prison, was believed to be an innovative one which
would enhance my contribution to the working party.
I was a supporter of the Criminal Procedure (Insanity and Unfitness to Plead) Bill which was
passed in 1991. The briefing on this Private Member's Bill by the Law Society's Mental
health Sub-Committee included a case history which I supplied of someone detained in
hospital 'unfit to plead' for 14 years after allegedly stealing a bottle of milk from a doorstep.
My observations on the Law Commission's Consultation Paper 'Intoxication and Criminal
Liability' are acknowledged in the Commission's report 'Legislating the Criminal Code:
Intoxication and Criminal Liability' laid before Parliament by the Lord High Chancellor and
ordered to be printed by the House of Commons on 7th February 1995. The report includes a
draft Criminal Law (Intoxication) Bill.
I contributed to the Law Commission's consultation on 'Partial Defences to Murder’ and my
comments are quoted in its Final Report of 6 August 2004.
I am involved at present in a proposal to amend section 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983.
I have experience of preparing reports for the Department of Health, the General Medical
Council, the General Dental Council, the UKCC, what were the Legal Departments of the
Yorkshire Regional Health Authority and the North Western Regional Health Authority, all
three medical defence organisations, Mental Health Review Tribunals, solicitors in various
cases where medicolegal issues arise and courts martial. I have also prepared reports for
Crown Prosecution Service branches from Exeter to Carlisle and also for the General
Casework Division of the C.P.S. in London (which deals with sensitive 'public interest'
cases). I have reported pro bono in Caribbean death penalty cases and on the same basis
13
examined and reported on Marietta Bosch, the first white woman to be sentenced to death and
executed in post-colonial Botswana (and about which the BBC made a documentary The
Love Triangle Murder).
I am a Member of what was the British Academy of Experts, now the Academy of Experts,
and I am on the Law Society's Register of Expert Witnesses. I was an Individual Founding
Member, and now Fellow, of the Expert Witness Institute established under the presidency of
the Right Honourable Lord Woolf, then Master of the Rolls.
I have given evidence in criminal cases in various magistrates' courts and the Crown Court
concerning issues such as stay of proceedings, fitness to be interviewed, fitness to plead and
stand trial, diminished responsibility, insanity, intent, capability of witnesses to give reliable
evidence and when a restriction order has been contemplated. I have also given evidence in
personal injury, medical negligence and child care cases, at an Agricultural Land Tribunal
and at the judicial review into the ‘force feeding’ of ‘The Moors Murderer’, Ian Brady. Court
appearances are probably in excess of two hundred and I have prepared reports in several
thousand cases. I have given evidence in the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) on a
number of occasions.
My further training in courts skills has included participation in 'mock' trials organised by the
Leeds and West Riding Medico-Legal Society. I have been trained as a ‘single joint expert’
for the purposes of the new Civil Procedure Rules.
In order to improve my knowledge of matters related to medical jurisprudence I attended an
18 month (six weekends) residential course run by the Forensic Academic Group in the
North. This prepares police surgeons/forensic medical examiners and other interested medical
practitioners for the Diploma in Medical Jurisprudence of the Society of Apothecaries.
I am a member of the British Academy of Forensic Sciences, the Leeds and West Riding
Medico-Legal Society and the Medico-Legal Society of London. I am a Past President of the
Leeds and West Riding Medico-Legal Society. An abridged version of my Presidential
Lecture has been published in the Medico-Legal Journal.
I have acted as an external referee for the NHS Exexutive in relation to grant applications for
forensic research.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
My first research experience was as an intercalated student in neurophysiology. Further
experience in this field was obtained as a research assistant during a summer vacation spent
at the Research Institute on Alcoholism of the New York State Department of Mental
Hygiene and the Department of Pharmacology of the State University of New York at
Buffalo. I was the first person to hold the position of Visiting Scientist at the Research
Institute.
For some time much of my research was into various aspects of alcoholism as my
publications indicate. However, in Manchester I also became involved in immunological
research, liaison psychiatry research, the use of rating scales in affective disorders and a study
of the use of television in undergraduate psychiatry examinations.
14
I have carried out a study relating to the detection of psychiatric disorder in prisoners at
HMP Leeds.
With a former Leeds psychiatrist who is now a consultant forensic psychiatrist in Merseyside
I carried out a study of the psychiatric reactions to CS spray exposure and false imprisonment
in a group of more than thirty Huddersfield people who were sprayed with CS and falsely
imprisoned by the police at the end of their Christmas night out. The paper describing the
results of the study has been published.
I have supervised trainee psychiatrists' research projects in forensic psychiatry, liaison
psychiatry and other areas. I now supervise law students whose dissertations are submitted in
partial requirements for the degree of Master of Laws.
In addition to invited lectures at a number of British universities, I have presented the results
of my research at universities in Buffalo, Philadelphia, Tucson and Miami, U.S.A. and at the
Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. I frequently present papers at the academic meetings of
the Royal College of Psychiatrists. In 1989 I gave the guest lecture at the annual meeting of
the Association of Police Surgeons of Great Britain. In 2002 I gave a paper on ethical aspects
of psychiatric involvement in death penalty cases at the annual meeting of the American
Academy of Psychiatry and Law.
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Since qualifying in medicine and then obtaining my postgraduate qualification in psychiatry I
have tried to keep up to date by attending conferences, symposia, clinical meetings,
workshops and various other educational activities. The various medical colleges and
faculties have now introduced requirements for what they call 'Continuing Medical
Education' and what the Royal College of Psychiatrists calls 'Continuing Professional
Development'. I am in good standing with the Royal College of Psychiatrists for Continuing
Professional Development and usually exceed my annual CPD requirement.
In 1996 I had a further opportunity for what could be termed continuing professional
development in that I was seconded for six months to obtain further experience in forensic
psychiatry. This was in order to satisfy the requirements of the Forensic Psychiatry Specialist
Advisory Committee of the Joint Committee on Higher Psychiatric Training so as to be able
to train senior (specialist) registrars in forensic psychiatry as well as general psychiatry.
Between April and September 1996 I was based in the regional secure unit at Wakefield.
There I participated in clinical case conferences, a journal club and a weekly academic
meeting. I had some involvement in the assessment and care of psychopathically disordered
women. A session a week was spent working in the adjacent secure unit for the mentally
handicapped. Extra prison sessions, additional to my session at H.M. Prison, Leeds, were
spent at H.M.P. Full Sutton, where I gained experience in preparing reports for the Parole
Board and the Discretionary Lifer Panel concerning life sentence prisoners, and at
H.M.P. New Hall which is a women's prison. Sessions averaging two a week were spent
working in the services for women at Ashworth Special Hospital. During the six months I
made two visits in order to observe the work of the Mental Health Division (formerly C3) of
the Home Office, which deals with patients subject to restriction orders and directions, and
one visit to observe the work of the Parole Board.
15
In April 2010 I was awarded the degree of Master of Laws (Dinstinction) in Medical Law and
Ethics by De Montfort University, Leicester. In addition to the introductory module,
‘Introduction to Health Care Law and Ethics’, I completed the following modules: ‘Clinical
Malpractice 1’, ‘Clinical Malpractice 2’, ‘Mental Health Law’, ‘Consent and the
Incapacitated Patient’ and a special study module, ‘Medical Involvement in Capital
Punishment’. I did not enrol for the ‘Expert Evidence’ module but attended the seminars. My
dissertation was on the fitness to practise procedures of the General Medical Council.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
As an undergraduate I was President or Secretary of three University societies and I founded
the Aberdeen and District Council on Alcoholism (now the Aberdeen Council on Alcohol)
subsequently serving as Secretary and then Chairman of it. I was a founding member of the
Scottish Council on Alcoholism (now the Scottish Council on Alcohol) and for a number of
years a member of its Medical Advisory Committee.
In Edinburgh I was Chairman of the South Lothian Division of Psychiatry Junior Staff
Committee and its representative on the Divisional Executive of the North and South Lothian
Divisions of Psychiatry.
I have been a member of the Executive Committees of the North West and North East
Divisions of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. For several years I organised the academic
programme for the North East Division's Annual Conference at York. I was Programme
Secretary of the College's Dependence/Addiction Group representing it on the Programmes
and Meetings Committee until 1988. I wrote the application for Section (now Faculty) status
for the Group which is now known as the Substance Misuse Faculty of the College. In
addition I drafted the College policies on alcoholic beverages and smoking.
I completed five years as an Examiner for the Membership of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists. I was for about ten years the chairman of the Part II Clinical Topics MCQ
Working Group, a member of the Examinations Subcommittee and a member of the Panel of
Observers which oversees the clinical examinations for Parts I and II of the Membership
Examination. I was a member of the working group which proposed radical changes to the
MRCPsych examination. I gave up my various duties with the MRCPsych in order to take up
my appointment as an Associate Member of the General Medical Council (see below).
I have been a member of the Executive Council of the Society for the Study of Addiction, I
