Summary

Gerald Russell

Naresh Gandhi Formerly Consultant Psychiatrist in Intensive Care at the Park Royal Centre for Mental Health, Park Royal, North West London. At Park Royal, he quickly established a comprehensive service for forensic patients in an area of the country which has been shown to have an excessive demand (Coid et al, 2001) His combination of great self-confidence, ability to rapidly analyse a situation and to make bold decisions made him a very popular and effective clinician. Dr Gandhi was a man of razor-sharp intelligence who was very impatient to get things done This was somewhat of a handicap when he was doing research, as he always seemed to know the answer before the research was completed, it was a tremendous asset in forensic mental health services, and the service could always rely on Naresh to find solutions when many others would have failed.
