Dr David Fearnley in The Reader
Dr Dave Fearnley, Medical Director and Deputy Chief of Mersey Care NHS Trust, who earlier this month was named Psychiatrist of the Year by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, runs his own Get Into Reading group at Ashworth Hospital in Liverpool.
Dr Fearnley, who is also a member of The Reader Organisation's Research Team, has written about his experience reading with patients weekly in this secure unit, and why he thinks it is so important, in The Reader issue 34, which you can download for free here, or buy your copy of the magazine here if the 'real thing' is more your thing.
