Naresh Gandhi
Consultant psychiatrist London NW10 (b 1962; q Bombay 1986; MD, MRCPsych),
d 14 August 2005.
Naresh Gandhi, consultant psychiatrist in intensive care at the Park Royal
Centre for Mental Health, Park Royal, north west London, died from a bleeding
duodenal ulcer on 14 August 2005. He was just 43. Dr Gandhi graduated in
Bombay and obtained his MD in 1989. He was an outstanding student and, in
addition to showing excellence in all parts of the medical curriculum, his
flamboyance and cheery self confidence made him a magnet of interest for
other students. He came to England in 1989 and was appointed as consultant
in intensive care psychiatry at the Park Royal Centre for Mental Health in
1995, where he built up a thriving department. His sudden death leaves a
deep hole in forensic psychiatric practice in north west London. [Peter
