Manage episode 262881094 series 2322684
In our second week of the Mental Health Series, we talk to psychiatry trainee Shannon Hilton about what it’s really like to work in psychiatry and treat patients with mental illnesses.

Shannon went to medical school at the University of Southampton, where she completed a BMedSci research project on the use of ibuprofen in anxiety. She completed her basic medical training in East London before starting as a psychiatry trainee in 2019 at the world renowned Maudsley Hospital Trust.
