Dr Niraj Ahuja

GMC No: 6059182

I passed my MBSS in 1982 and then MD Psychiatry with a Distinction in 1987, both from Delhi University. I have been a consultant psychiatrist since November 1991 in Delhi and then in the NHS since January 2003. I gained my Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Research from Newcastle University with Distinction in 2018.

I currently work at the Regional Affective Disorders Service at CAV, Newcastle as well as an Undergraduate Block Lead and Honorary Lecturer for the Sunderland Medical School.
