Professor Rick Adams

Consultant General & Neuropsychiatrist, Head of Computational Psychiatry

I am an internationally renowned expert in the field of computational psychiatry and Chair of the Medical Advisory Committee at Bloomfield Health. I have been a Consultant Psychiatrist on the Specialist Register since 2017 and have worked as a doctor in the NHS since 2004. My clinical and research interests focus on psychosis and neuropsychiatry.

I run a weekly clinic in the Camden Early Intervention in Psychosis NHS service, where I diagnose and treat young people with possible psychotic disorders. Additionally, I work at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, a tertiary referral centre for neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, I manage complex cases, including neurodevelopmental disorders, rare causes of psychosis, psychiatric conditions linked to neurological issues, and functional symptoms.

With membership in both the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal College of Physicians, I bring expertise in psychiatry and general medicine. I am also a Future Leaders Clinical Research Fellow at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, where I contribute to advancing understanding and treatments in this field. My work bridges clinical care and research, ensuring that patients benefit from the latest developments in psychiatry and neuroscience.
