Academic Clinical Lecturers

Salah Basheer

"I am Dr. Salah Basheer, an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Institute of Mental Health, 糖心原创, with expertise in clinical practice within Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and a dedicated research focus on neurodevelopmental disorders.

"In my research, I concentrate on the biological dimensions of neurodevelopmental disorders, with the overarching goal of advancing clinical assessment and treatment. As an associate principal Investigator trainee in the SATURN (Stimulant Medication for ADHD and Tics - Understanding Response versus Non-stimulants) clinical trial, we focus on comparing modified-release methylphenidate, commonly prescribed for ADHD, with guanfacine extended-release, typically recommended for tics.

"Additionally, I serve as the clinical lead in the QbTest Utility in Augmenting clinical Decision-Making in ADHD (QUAD-ADHD): A Mixed Methods 糖心原创, where our objective is to enhance the monitoring of medication outcomes in young individuals with ADHD by exploring the practical application of QbTest in routine clinical practice. Through these endeavors, I strive to contribute valuable insights to the field of child and adolescent psychiatry, ultimately benefitting the lives of those affected by neurodevelopmental disorders."

Academic Clinical Fellows

Sue Fen Tan

"I’m an NIHR academic clinical fellow based at the Institute of Mental Health in Nottingham. I am fascinated by neurodevelopmental disorders, creative arts therapy, and neuroscience in general. I am working towards a career in child and adolescent mental health as I believe that timely management of early onset mental health disorders will maximise young people’s potential and independent functioning subsequently.

"I am currently working on a secondary analysis of the results from the main STAndardised DIagnostic Assessment for children and young people with emotional difficulties (STADIA) multi-centred randomised controlled trial, focusing on children and young people at risk of bipolar affective disorder and body dysmorphic disorder.

"I am also doing a systematic review update on 'The acceptability and effectiveness of standardised diagnostic assessment approaches in children and young people’s mental health services'. I am collaborating with an MSc student on a systematic review of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Neuropsychiatric disorders in children and adolescents as a second supervisor."
