AUDIT EXPERIENCE
8

Audit of Dementia Treatment Clinic Protocols,
Name of Hospital or Institution – June 2003
The audit compared current practice in the dementia
treatment clinic with NICE guidelines.

Audit of Electro-convulsive therapy use in older
people, Name of Hospital or Institution – January
2003
This 1st cycle audit project on the use of ECT in older people
showed a lack of compliance with established protocols due
to inadequate induction of junior doctors and a lack of
consistent supervision. Recommendations on the induction
process were implemented.

Analysis of the Structure and Effectiveness of the
Psychotherapy
Team
Assessment
Clinic,
Management Project – June 2002
I carried out this project as a part of the Management
Development Programme for Specialist Registrars. The
analysis showed flaws in the structure and running of the
clinic and this enabled changes to be made to improve the
service.

Audit of Patient Satisfaction and Trainee
utilization of the Psychotherapy Team assessment
Clinic – (May 2002)
This audit revealed that patients were not receiving
adequate information before attending Gaskell House.
Consent was not sufficiently “informed”, and patients were
unhappy with the process of the assessments.

Audit of Out of Area referrals to Name of Hospital
or Institution – (March 2002)
I undertook this audit looking at out of area referrals to
Gaskell House and the trend of referrals in the last ten
years. A significant proportion of referrals were found to be
from other health authorities, and the funding for this was
not clearly defined. Recommendations made included
clarification by management of current extra contractual
contracts.

Audit on referrals of older people to the
Psychotherapy department, Name of Hospital or
Institution – (January 2002)
9
This audit examined referrals of older people to the
psychotherapy department and whether patients were
offered therapy. Older people were found to constitute less
than 1% of the referrals to the psychotherapy department
with less then half of the number actually having therapy.
The audit was presented to the psychotherapy department
and recommendations given included further training for
psychotherapists in the department on treating older
people, as well as education of referrers regarding
psychological therapies in the older people.

Audit on older DSH presenters to hospital and
psychiatric input, Name of Hospital or Institution
– (July 2001)
I carried out this audit looking into the management of
elderly people who presented to a general Hospital with
Deliberate self-harm (DSH). The audit showed that older
people admitted to medical wards after DSH tended to be
referred to the old age Psychiatric department for
assessments, whilst a significant number of those sent
home from A and E did not have a psychiatric assessment.
The audit was presented to the Psychiatric department, and
the DSH protocols for older people were updated.

Audit on stimulus threshold and dose titration of
ECT treatments, Name of Hospital or Institution –
(November 1999)
I carried out the 2nd cycle of the audit process, reviewing
the effectiveness of the protocol drawn up from the 1 st
audit. Older men were found to have a higher stimulus
threshold and an increased number of inadequate stimuli.
Dose titration for unilateral ECT was inadequate, and there
was no avenue for feedback from the patients RMO on
response. No advantages were found for use of routine
head cleaning. A separate protocol for unilateral ECT was
introduced, and the baseline dose for older men was
increased. RMO feedback was to be introduced.

Audit on admissions to the Home Options service,
Name of Hospital or Institution (January 1999)
I carried out the 1st cycle of an audit into the number of
admissions to the home options service and its relationship
to the six monthly rotations of trainees. It was felt that the
number of referrals to the unit dropped significantly after
10
the arrival of new psychiatric trainees. However, the audit
results were not in keeping with these views.

Audit on the practice of Electro-convulsive
therapy (ECT) at Name of Hospital or Institution
(August 1998)
I carried out this audit as the second cycle of the audit
process, to determine if the ECT practice complied with that
recommended by the Royal College, and specified in the
protocol generated after the first audit cycle. Nursing and
medical practice during ECT was recorded on a
questionnaire, and information was also gathered from case
notes. The audit showed that the protocol was not being
adhered to, and recommendations were made to ensure
relevant medical and nursing staff had access to a copy of
the protocol and adhered to it.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Bone density changes in patients on Neuroleptics
(On-going)
I am currently conducting this study under the supervision
of Dr Wieck at Name of Hospital or Institution This is a
cross-sectional study in which we are performing bone
density scans on 20 patients with neuroleptic induced
amenorrhoea, and comparing the results to a large female
reference database. The hypothesis is that the patients with
neuroleptic induced amenorrhoea will have significantly
lower bone density than the reference controls. This has
important implications for later life in affected patients.

Quality of Life of patients with Alzheimer’s
disease – (2001)
This was a cross-sectional study supervised by Prof. Burns
to determine the validity of the D-QOL quality of life scale
(which measures the quality of life of patients with
Dementia, as well as the quality of life of their carers), and
to determine its test –retest reliability.

Comparison of the reading of EEG seizure
monitoring records by doctors with differing
experience of ECT –(1998)
I was involved in this randomised double blind trial with Dr
Benbow, looking into the use of EEG during ECT. I was one
11
of the four doctors carrying out the study and analysing EEG
recordings generated during ECT treatment.

Phase III Antidepressant drug trial – (1997)
I participated in this drug trial, and physically reviewed
patients on the antidepressant, took blood, separated the
serum and fixed a thin film on a slide, which were sent for
analysis.

The job satisfaction and mental health status of
farmers – (Medical School – 1992)
I carried out this cross-sectional study with a group of
colleagues in medical school. We postulated that farmers
with low job satisfaction would also have significantly poorer
mental health as determined on the GHQ, than farmers with
good job satisfaction. 90 farmers in a rural community were
interviewed. Analysis of the results found the hypothesis to
be clinically true, but of borderline statistical significance.
The study was presented to the Department of Preventive
and Social Medicine.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have given formal lectures to medical students at the
Name of Hospital or Institution and taken part as an
examiner in their objective structured clinical
examinations. I have also taught medical students
history taking and mental state examination in various
hospitals, on the ward and in the outpatient clinics. I
gave tutorials to SHO’s taking the MRCPsych part 1 and
2 examinations and, I have also been a tutor for a local
MRCPsych part one course. I have taught nursing and
social work students and other mental health workers
and also supervise SHO’s in psychiatry.
