Back from the PIPSIG (Private and Independent Practice Special Interest Group) conference at the Royal College of Psychiatrists. It feels surreal to reflect on how I first attended this event last year as an NHS consultant. This year, I returned as a fully independent Consultant Psychiatrist, marking an exciting step forward in my career👩‍⚕️

The thought-provoking talks delivered by highly experienced independent consultants have left me inspired and eager to explore new opportunities to expand my portfolio. The journey ahead is full of promise, and I’m grateful to be part of such an empowering community! 🧠
