Clayton's hospital desk drawer contained some interesting things
Way back in the past, I worked with Michelle Shepherd. Michele is a lovely consultant. One of the best. There was an amusing issue about Shepherd and the GMC. In 2007, the GMC crowed away about how staff grades could not use the term "Psychiatrist". This was before the Department of Health coughed up their entire list of staff grade "psychiatrists" and I whipped out the Michelle Shepherd reference. The reference referred to me as a "psychiatrist". The problem for the GMC is that Michelle had been one of their panellists. We all had to chortle at the GMC for their own stupidity.
Anyhow, Michelle and I both had to tolerate Andy Clayton. The reason I left my job in Derby was because I did not wish to tolerate Clayton's sexist attitude. That was way back in 2001/2. Michele knew how I felt about Clayton. I made no formal complaint. The simple way to solve the problem was to leave.
Anyway, Clayton got struck off recently, the BMJ runs the feature here.
"A former consultant psychiatrist who examined the breasts of two vulnerable patients, subjected trainees to sexual innuendoes, and was convicted of child pornography offences has been struck off for behaviour "utterly incompatible with being a doctor."
Andy, if you are reading this, even staff grades can be right about you. Congratulations to the GMC for removing this pervert off the medical shop floor.Ten years late but moving fast eh . The only reason the GMC acted is due to the criminal convictions. If that had not happened, Clayton would have been free to perv away. Afterall, he has been the same for more than 20 years. Its not a new thing.

This man is clearly a sexual predator. This will be just the tip of the iceberg. What was Richard Seed the Chief Executive doing in the 90's.
This '' Doctor'' was a well known bully. He has been a disgrace to Medicine for many years. What was wrong with Derby Psychiatry,anyone who was good left,and Clayton and Haru Ghadiali was left to abuse. Have the Psychiatrists left in Derby finally accepted that he is a terrible,terrible man,or are they still in denial?
"Richard Seed the Chief Executive doing in the 90's."
sleeping?
"Have the Psychiatrists left in Derby finally accepted that he is a terrible,terrible man,or are they still in denial?"
Possibly in denial. Never known anyone to stand up to Clayton.
By the way, I was a locum SHO very briefly with Shepherd. Nice time until I ran into Clayton. It all turned sour after that and I left.

Did that include Specula
My Mum was treated by both Clayton and Gadihali. (Clayton for 25yrs) she stood up to them and got sectioned for the trouble and my brother and i were taken into care, never to return home. The truth always comes out eventually but how many people have to suffer! Can't change the past but we all need to be strong and stand up for what is right.
*Ghadiali*
this guy ruined my life, dad had heart attack due to stress caused when this case was being investigated he dragged me into it all... the worst part was I was in a long term rellationship with his daughter at the time and in person he was the kindest most caring person you could ever meet but even after it all came up i couldnt believe that he had done it and then more and more cases started to come out of the woodwork. This guy deserved everything he got!
Typical psychopath conning everyone. I feel so sorry for his family,what a dad to have.
