As a junior trainee under the supervision of Dr Tocca, I was impressed by his level of care towards his patients, and he has become a trusted role model. I found it easy to achieve all my learning outcomes, including being given repeated opportunities to interview, risk assess and manage patients. He was an excellent pastoral tutor and made sure all my needs were met, and went over and above his duty to proactively ask if I was happy and was achieving my goals. In a specialty with a very high risk component, I was often uncertain of management, but Dr Tocca appeared to follow a logical and risk averse approach to his patients, and from this I learnt how to be a safe practitioner and how to consult colleagues in an MDT approach for relevant care pathways. In summary, Dr Tocca is a kindly, considerate and well-balanced psychiatrist, whom his patients and colleagues should trust and respect as is his merit.
