Dr Jose Belda

I am a Consultant Psychiatrist currently working at the Psychiatry and Therapy Centre in Dubai Healthcare City.

I have recently moved from the UK where I held a substantive position  as a Consultant Psychiatrist working for Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. I also had my own private practice in Harley Street, London. I have worked across different settings and environments, and with people from very varied socio-cultural and ethnical backgrounds. It affords me an excellent understanding of how different problems present amongst different population groups, but also recognising the individual characteristics of each patient, creating an atmosphere of trust in a totally confidential and non-judgemental environment.

Having worked in General Medicine in Spain, I trained in Psychiatry in the UK and have been a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists since 2005. I am in the GMC Specialist Register for General Adult Psychiatry and Substance Misuse Psychiatry.

I have developed a community Eating Disorder Service, a Neuropsychiatry Liaison Service, Adult ADHD clinics at different locations in the UK and I transformed an in-patient detoxification unit into an in-patient Dual Diagnosis Service. I have provided medical leadership for a team caring for people with difficult-to-treat severe and enduring mental health problems.
