Dr Farooq Ahmed Khan

Dr Farooq Ahmed Khan is a consultant psychiatrist at Priory Wellbeing Centre Birmingham. He specialises in providing mental health treatment for older adults.

Training

Dr Khan completed his basic medical training and qualification of MBBS in India in 1999. He then went on to complete his Doctorate in Medicine (MD) in Psychiatry before progressing his career in the United Kingdom. Dr Khan secured his Membership of Royal College of Psychiatrist (MRCPsych) in 2008.

The passion for education and academic excellence led him to pursue Masters in Medical Education from Staffordshire University in 2013. He has also secured the Fellowship of Indian Psychiatric Society which shows his dedication for Psychiatry and Medical Education.

As the world population is ageing, more and more people are in need of supported care in the community. I have successfully completed an innovative six-months MDT pilot project in Birmingham in 2010, which was awarded second position in Board Challenge Awards of BSMHFT. I led similar MDT project into care homes in Sandwell which aims at reducing antipsychotic use and preferring non-pharmacological management of BPSD in care homes.
