Professor Peter Hill, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist

Peter Hill is a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist with extensive training and qualifications in general medicine, psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry and paediatrics. His main work nowadays is at a thriving private practice at 35 Great James Street, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 3HB, focusing on neurodevelopmental disorders and mental illness in the young. He has previously headed departments at St George’s, University of London, (where he was foundation professor of child mental health in the University of London and is still visiting professor) and at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

He has been a key opinion leader in ADHD for some twenty years and has written, lectured or advised on the management of ADHD nationally and internationally.

Course aim

To provide expert opinion on difficult management issues in the treatment of clinical issues in depression and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a clear focus on the clinical challenges and dilemmas faced by front-line children’s clinicians when general guidance is insufficiently specific.

Furthermore, with lectures and discussion forums led by very experienced clinicians, the course aims at providing C&A psychiatrists and paediatricians with senior opinion and guidance on grey areas of clinical practice; these are areas of difficult diagnosis or the management of challenging issues and treatment decisions, the sort of issues and cases that go beyond national guidelines and present real challenges and often leading academic/clinicians with expert experience and know-how can further explore the clinical issues.

Learning outcomes for the series

By the end of the series participants will have

  • An in-depth understanding of best practice and how senior experts address these problems in terms of specific instances and cases
  • Been able to raise their own queries or uncertainties
  • Greater confidence in their own practice when faced with similar clinical dilemmas
  • Identified gaps in their own skills or knowledge which can then be addressed
  • Had an instructive and engaging educational experience
