Autorenporträt
Nick Bouras MD, PhD, FRCPsych, is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London and Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist at South London and the Maudsley Foundation NHS Trust. He is currently Programme Director of Maudsley International. Professor Bouras led the research programme of the first Community Mental Health Centre in UK and carried out extensive studies of service monitoring evaluation. He was Consultant Psychiatrist at Guy's Hospital of South London and the Maudsley Foundation NHS Trust for over 25 years and was instrumental in the re-provision of services from three large psychiatric institutions. Professor Bouras participated actively in the development of community based multi-professional mental health services that have been supporting numerous residential facilities in local communities for people with intellectual disabilities and complex mental health needs, people with chronic schizophrenia, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Professor Bouras initiated the development of the Estia (Evaluation, Services, Training, Intervention, Assessment) Centre, (www.estiacentre.org) and remained Director until his retirement. This was and remains an innovative concept combining clinical services, training and Research & Development, jointly funded by the NHS and University. His research has been focused on health service related topics including assessment and clinical effectiveness of specialist mental health services; evaluation of multi-professional training methods; and social and biological determinants of behaviour in psychiatric patients. Professor Bouras has been a member and held executive positions in several National and International organisations. He has been Editor and member of the Editorial Board of several journals. He has published extensively in community psychiatry and mental health aspects of people with intellectual disabilities. Several of his books have been translated into different languages.
