Practice Director Biography:
Consultant Psychiatrist & Clinical Director
The Clinical Director and Lead Consultant Psychiatrist at Ellern Mede, Dr Hind Al Khairulla, brings more than 20 years of specialist experience in child and adolescent psychiatry and eating disorders including outpatient, community and inpatient settings. Soon after joining the Ellern Mede team, Dr Al Khairulla pioneered high dependency unit (HDU) care, then a relatively new concept in eating disorders, and this has continued to be a very effective treatment setting for people who come to Ellern Mede for care, alongside our Recovery service. Dr Al Khairulla is passionate about helping patients, even those with the most enduring difficulties. She never gives up on a patient. We have seen remarkable transformation and recovery with many patients returning to us years later to share about the day they experienced a ‘lightbulb moment’ which signalled the start of their recovery. She continues to lead in evolving evidence-based best practice in this field.
