个人简介
Simon Wessely is Professor and Head of the Department of Psychological Medicine and Vice Dean for
Academic Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP), King’s College London. He is best known for his
work on unexplained symptoms, syndromes and military health.
He founded the King’s Centre for Military Health Research, a unique collaboration between the IoP and the
KCL Department of War Studies, founded in 2003. Its flagship project, a large-scale ongoing study of the
health and wellbeing of the UK Armed Forces, has had a direct impact on public policy and on forms of
treatment and help for Service personnel.
Born and educated in Sheffield, he studied medical sciences and history of art at Trinity Hall, Cambridge,
and then finished his medical training at University College Oxford, graduating in 1981. He obtained his
medical membership in Newcastle, before moving to London to train in psychiatry, where he also obtained
a Master’s and Doctorate in epidemiology. Professor Wessely has been a consultant liaison psychiatrist at
King’s College Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital since 1991. He became Director of the Chronic Fatigue
Research Unit at King’s in 1994 and of the Gulf War Illness Research Unit in 1996. He is Civilian
Consultant Advisor in Psychiatry to the British Army, a member of the Defence Scientific Advisory Council,
and a Foundation Senior Investigator of the National Institute for Health Research.
Professor Wessely has over 650 original publications, with a particular emphasis on the boundaries of
medicine and psychiatry, unexplained symptoms and syndromes, military health, population reactions to
adversity, epidemiology, history and other fields. He has co authored a text book on chronic fatigue
syndrome, a history of military psychiatry and a book on randomised controlled trials, although none are
best sellers.. He is a trustee of Combat Stress, and his contributions to veterans’ charities include cycling
(slowly) six times to Paris to raise funds for the Royal British Legion.
