Dr Raj Persaud

 While the rest of psychiatry seems to be on a journey where you end up seeing a 'team', in other words being passed from pillar to post, with no one getting to know you properly, we are proud to be a team almost of one. You will just see Dr Raj Persaud and no one else. 

If you just want an assessment with a view to finding the right specialist to be referred to, then Dr Raj Persaud can refer to wide variety of different disciplines and specialisms if that is what you would like.

 Dr Raj Persaud is a Consultant Psychiatrist who has worked at numerous prestigious institutions in psychiatry including The Bethlem Royal and Maudsley NHS Hospitals Trust in London and the Institute of Psychiatry plus the Institute of Neurology, University of London as well as Johns Hopkins Hospital in the USA, which are the leading teaching, research and clinical institutions in psychiatry in Europe and the USA.

Unusually for a psychiatrist he also holds a degree in psychology that he obtained with First Class Honours, and in addition he has been awarded over 8 degrees and diplomas including a Masters in Statistics. He has been recognised for the innovative nature of his research by the receipt of numerous academic awards and prizes including the prestigious Royal College of Psychiatrists Research Medal and Prize and The Maudsley Hospital's own Denis Hill Prize plus the exclusive medical award, the Osler Medal. The Royal College of Psychiatrists awarded him the Morris Markowe Prize for his Public Engagement work and elected him a Fellow of the College – one of the highest honours it can bestow on a member.
