Shubhinder Shergill joined CNWL in October 2023 as a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) Lead. He currently works for Harrow Perinatal Mental Health Services in Northwick Park hospital, and also works one session a week for the Trust’s ADHD service.
Shubhinder has been a Consultant Psychiatrist for almost 20 years, having spent 14 of them working in the independent sector. He recently completed an MBA at Henley Business school.
Talking more about his background and what he hopes to achieve in the role, he said:
“My background is in learning disability and forensic psychiatry, but I have always badged myself as a neurodevelopmental psychiatrist. I’ve had an interest in medical education and medical professional development since 2007 when I led on implementing Modernising Medical Careers in Herts Partnership FT. Since then I have had roles as an educational and clinical supervisor for medical students and trainees; AMD for appraisal and revalidation and Postgraduate Medical Lead. In the latter role, I developed and supported a CESR programme for SAS doctors, as well as supporting the introduction of International Medical Graduates.”
“As the CESR Lead for CNWL, I’m hoping there is plenty of enthusiasm from our SAS doctors to take advantage of the great opportunities in the Trust to go through the Portfolio Route and become Consultants. I am working with people in the Trust and across London to develop a programme that will make it as straightforward as possible for SAS doctors to achieve this and use their expertise to take up Consultant roles in the Trust. I’m seeking the support of our Consultants to help our SAS doctors to achieve this”
Shubhinder lives in London with his wife, and has two children. He is also a big sports and sci fi fan – cricket, tennis and star trek are 3 of his biggest passions outside of home and working life.
