The Sloane Court Clinic offers a comprehensive review, guidance, advisory and joint-assessment service for psychiatric medications, and offers detailed medication review and consultation appointments as recommended by NICE guidelines.
Dr. Gee has worked in clinical hospital pharmacy in both physical and mental health settings across South East London. Her specialist interest is in the use of psychiatric medicines in people with physical comorbidity, and she has more than a decade of experience working with psychiatric liaison teams at Guy’s and St. Thomas’, King’s College Hospital, Croydon University Hospital and Lewisham Hospitals. She is recognised internationally as a leading authority in the clinical use of psychiatric medicines, and is a contributing author to the world-renowned Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines.
Common Presenting Situations for Consultant Pharmacist Guidance Services
Consultant Pharmacists are able to provide guidance on a wide range of medication-based queries, including – but not limited to – queries around side-effects, interaction effects with other psychiatric and non-psychiatric (physical) medications, interaction effects with over-the-counter medications and health supplements and vitamins, and interaction effects with other non-medication substances, such as alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and illicit substances.
They are also able to provide advice and guidance on medication usage, and the impact thereof, during particular life stages, most commonly around conception, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and menopause.
Consultant Pharmacists can also provide second opinion services for patients on a current medication regime who are concerned about medication side-effects or impacts to cognitive performance, mood, arousal abilities or motor function, and who may be considering cessation or changing said regime.
