Over his formative training years and during his time working as a volunteer with charities in developing countries (including Palermo, Sicily, Kolkata, India, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Dar Es Salam, Tanzania, Mae Sot, Thailand, Nepal and Malta), he developed a special interest in working with ‘hard to reach’ Young People suffering from multiple complex mental health disorders. In 2011 he had an Out Of Program experience working on the ‘Innovations Project 15-25 years’ which was funded by the Strategic Health Authority, this was partly clinical and partly academic. He was based in an inner-city Darzi walk-in centre in Newcastle-Upon Tyne. There he practiced offering evidence based bio psychosocial individualized therapeutic interventions to ‘hard to reach’ young people. As part of reading for his MD at Newcastle University, he is furthering his research in this area by carrying out a case control study and 2 year follow up study on this cohort of ‘hard to reach’ young people."
