Scott Inglis

Biography

I qualified as a Mental Health Nurse in 1996 after training at the prestigious Dingleton Hospital in the Scottish Borders. I worked initially on Eden ward at Dingleton specialising in complex acute mental health inpatient work within the therapeutic community millieu.

I moved to South to develop my skills by working at the Wallingford Clinic a Regional Secure Unit attached to Fairmile Hospital in Oxfordshire. During this time I acted as liaison between the Wallingford Clinic and Broadmoor Special Hospital to facilitate client transfer between the two institutions. I also took the lead in group and individual work for those convicted of sexual offences. 

During my time working at FairMile I also worked on the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and was part of the team that developed the unit from a male only to a mixed sex unit. This experience was valuable when I eventually managed the new PICU and secure services on a Berkshire wide basis. I was instrumental in designing the PICU which is still in use at Prospect Park Hospital in Reading. I became a Lecturer Practitioner at this time allowing me my first taste of professional academia.

I moved to Cumbria in 2002 to manage the local PICU and rose to Modern Matron (one of the first in Cumbria) before moving to St Martin's College in 2005. I have remained in academia ever since, although I still undertake clinical work to ensure my teaching and writing retain a strong client focussed practice element.
