I graduated from the University of Manchester in 1995 with degrees in Medicine (MBChB) and Psychology (BSc (Hons). I was awarded a Distinction in Psychiatry. I commenced basic postgraduate psychiatric training in Oxford in 1996. Having a keen interest in the interface between medicine and psychiatry, I spent the next three years training in General Practice (MRCGP) before continuing my psychiatric training in Glasgow. In 2002, I became a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (MRCPsych). Between 2003 and 2007, I held the academic position of Clinical Lecturer in Psychiatry at the University of Sheffield, during which time I conducted original neuropsychiatric research, was Academic lead for Undergraduate clinical psychiatry teaching, and completed my Higher Specialist training in General Adult and Liaison Psychiatry. I was appointed as a Consultant in Perinatal Psychiatry for Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust in 2009. I led the Sheffield Perinatal Mental Health Service, a specialist service dedicated to the care of pregnant and postnatal women with severe mental health problems, for 13 years. Under my leadership, the service was transformed from a fledgling team into a regional Multidisciplinary specialist service with over 30 staff, covering South Yorkshire. This involved successfully bidding for substantial NHS government funding in 2018, in which I played an instrumental role. The transformation of Perinatal Mental Health services in the South Yorkshire region, I would consider to be the proudest achievement of my NHS career to date. During this time, I also held various other positions for my Trust, including the Named Doctor for Safeguarding Children and Clinical Staff Governor. My contribution to NHS service development, clinical service delivery, training and research was recognised through Clinical Excellence Awards on About Nusrat About Nusrat About About Active in Medicolegal work since 2009 Holds Degrees in Medicine & Psychology from University of Manchester Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Coauthored scientific publications in Neuropsychiatry 14 United Kingdom
