Welcome to my website! The purpose of this website is to introduce you to my qualifications and experience, to the services I provide, and to my professional interests.
I am a psychiatrist with substantial experience in adult psychiatry and psychogeriatrics (the psychiatry of older age). I have additional qualifications in Addiction Medicine and in Medico-legal and Forensic Psychiatry. I qualified in medicine in Sydney and trained in psychiatry in Sydney and Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, before undertaking further clinical training and postdoctoral research at Brown University and The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the USA. For more details see the ‘About Me’ page.
I practice from consulting rooms in Southport, Queensland, Australia (see the ‘Contact Me’ page). My clinical practice covers psychogeriatrics (including the assessment and treatment of memory and cognitive disorders – the Gold Coast memory clinic service), addiction problems, post traumatic stress conditions, and general adult psychiatry. I provide medico-legal assessments for a number of legal jurisdictions, including Workers Compensation, Motor Vehicle Accidents, Veterans’ Compensation, ComCare, criminal law, dangerous violent sexual offenders, and assessments of competency for Wills, Enduring Power of Attorney, and Guardianship matters. I offer tele-health consultations for referred patients through the use of Skype or similar video-conferecing programs. All these services are available through my practice via the ‘Contact Me’ page.
I am involved in medical research through clinical drug trials for dementia conditions and innovative approaches to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. I enjoy teaching and run educational lectures and workshops in psychiatry and mentor medical students and junior and senior colleagues.
My professional interests cover a number of clinical and medico-political areas – see the ‘Recent Posts’, ‘Articles’ and ‘Blog’ pages of the website. The Blog is a public domain discussion of topics – please feel welcome to make a comment. For private and confidential contact with me please use the email form on the ‘Contact Me’ page.
I look forward to serving you. Philip Morris.
