Dr Manoj Mathen 2017-06-23 Person 1 5 0

Having worked alongside Dr M Mathen for a number of years I hate to report that I do not believe he should be in the consultant position. He makes his decisions before talking to the service user and even before reading the ward notes. He gives all service users the same medication, quetiapine, regardless of their symptoms. He also has a habit of claiming that a service user is not psychotic if one antipsychotic doesn't work, claiming that if they were truly psychotic then the medication should be an effective treatment, without trying any other medications. Seriously ill service users are often misdiagnosed and discharged without any prior warning and seemingly for no apparent reason. We receive a high amount of complaints regarding Dr M Mathen and in the years of working alongside him I have never found a service user who trusted his judgment, which I believe is incredibly worrying.
