Lecturer nameMr Ken Brown BMBS BMedSci MSc FRCGP
Lecturer profile Ken studied medicine at the University of Nottingham and went straight to training to be a GP. He completed Nottingham VTS and after a brief spell in paediatrics became a partner at the Family Medical Centre where he remains today, 34 years later.
As a young GP he became aware of the lack of support for patients with drug addiction problems, especially within the homeless community in Nottingham. He was the first to set up a specialist service for heroin addiction in his practice in the area, assisted by the local specialist addiction psychiatry team. This clinic continues today; looking after over 40 patients with heroin addiction. He taught the RCGP certificate parts 1 and 2 for around 10 years and helped set up the local GPwSI education group for practitioners interested in addiction. He continues to teach medical students at the University of Nottingham and does ad hoc teaching to post graduate professionals about substance misuse.
