Service Description

Dr. James grew up in London and is an Emergency Department doctor at Croydon University Hospital. Before going into medicine Dr. James a teacher in Feltham, West London. Was working with young people with behavioural and emotional issues - it is there that he started becoming interested in the effects of stress on mental and physical wellbeing. This stayed with him into his medical career and now in the Emergency Department he see patients whose distress is often as emotional as it is physical. His work often gives him the chance to explore this connection between the mind, the brain and the body. Although an ancient field of enquiry, this is still a new frontier in western medicine and one which the A & E Wellbeing project intends to open up more.
