About me
Jamie trained in medicine at the University of Leeds, graduating with an MBBS, before specialising in psychiatry. He worked as an NHS doctor from 2003 to 2014, including as a Psychiatric Registrar and Memory Specialist at Imperial College Hospital, working directly with people living with dementia and their families.
That experience shaped his view of the care system. He saw, repeatedly, how hospital admissions and care crises could often have been prevented with the right support at home. That observation led him to found Hometouch, a live-in care provider built around clinical oversight rather than administrative process. Hometouch became CQC-regulated in 2018, reflecting Jamie’s view that complex care, and dementia care in particular, requires the same accountability as any other clinical service.
