Dr Stringer qualified from Guy's, King's & St Thomas' in 2002. She completed her training in general adult psychiatry in 2013 at South London & Maudsley, and now works for a learning disabilities team in Sussex. She believes passionately in empathy, the importance of listening, and parity of care for people with mental health problems. As a result, she edited Psychiatry PRN (for medical students) and Psychiatry: Breaking the ICE (for FY and CT doctors). She also developed and ran the anti-stigma communication skills course, Extreme Psychiatry at King's College London (2004-2018), winning the Teaching Excellence Award for Medicine in 2007 and 2012. In 2018, she was awarded a British Empire Medal for services to psychiatry and equality in mental health care.
Dr Church graduated in medicine from The University of Birmingham in 1998. After initial postgraduate training he became a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2002. He then undertook specialist training in general adult and old age psychiatry in London and obtained an MSc in psychiatric research in 2007.
From 2008 to 2014 he was a consultant psychiatrist in a community mental health team in Surrey. During this time he was awarded two NHS Clinical Excellence Awards. Since 2014 he has been working full time in independent private practice; this has meant increased hours spent providing direct clinical care, which he cares most passionately about. He has been a trustee for a local charity which provides a range of vocational training courses and social inclusion activities for people who have mental health problems (2014-2019).
