Hospital doctor given national prize

Thursday 22nd October 2009

A consultant hospital doctor has been named psychiatrist of the year at the Royal College of Psychiatrists Awards.

Dr David Fearnley, Ashworth Hospital's consultant psychiatrist and Mersey Care NHS Trust deputy chief, won the accolade for his "innovative" care and treatment, the Maghull and Aintree Star reported.

His approach included the creation of 18 therapeutic reading groups run in partnership with the Reader Organisation, which Mr Fearnley expressed particular pride in.

He said he works "closely with service users to improve our services and … involve [them] and carers in my annual consultant appraisal", adding that he enjoys his role as a manager as well as his hospital job as a practitioner.

The ceremony was the first of its kind and is to be held annually from this year on. Mr Fearnley expressed his delight at being the winner of the award.

Other psychiatry winners included Dr Susham Gupta, who was named advanced psychiatric trainee of the year, and Dr Ian Harwood, who received the prize of core psychiatric trainee 2009.
