Dr Mischa MockettI have thoroughly enjoyed all of my placements and appreciated the various opportunities that I have got through my training years. I have felt well supported from my supervisors and I have valued the experience that I gained as I moved alternatively between adult ID psychiatry and Child & Adolescent psychiatry. It has been a pleasure supporting children and adults with a learning disability with/without Autism spectrum disorder, including some interesting genetic conditions.
