Professor Rob PooleMB BS FRCPsych
Professor of Mental Health, Glyndŵr University 01978 727142 Rob Poole is a social psychiatrist who was an NHS consultant for 28 years before taking an academic post in 2009. He trained at St George’s Hospital, London and in Oxford. From 1988 to 2004 he worked in a deprived part of central Liverpool. He was closely involved in developing services such as the Criminal Justice Liaison Team and the Homeless Outreach Team. In 2004 he moved to a clinical post in rural North East Wales. His current clinical role is in liaison psychiatry. His research interests include substance misuse (especially alcohol and the relationship between substance misuse and mental illness), the care of people with intractable mental illness, prescribing practice in psychiatry, the nature of the relationship between social inequality and severe mental illness, and the relationship between mental illness and creativity. He has a strong research collaboration with Dr Catherine Robinson, who is a social scientist based in Bangor University. This has led to the formation of the Centre for Mental Health and Society within BCUHB. With Robert Higgo, he has co-authored two books which have gained national and international recognition. He is closely involved in the controversy within psychiatry over the role of spirituality and religion in clinical practice. AppointmentsProfessor of Mental Health, Glyndŵr University, Wrexham.
