Dr Mohamed Bajaber
Dr Mohamed Bajaber is a GMC-registered Associate Specialist in Psychiatry, currently practising within an acute inpatient service caring for adults aged 18–65 experiencing crisis or acute episodes of mental illness. In this role, Dr Bajaber is responsible for the assessment, diagnosis, and management of a wide range of psychiatric presentations, including psychotic illnesses, mood disorders, personality disorders, and complex dual diagnoses, working closely within a multidisciplinary team.
Dr Bajaber qualified in Medicine (M.D.) from Marmara University School of Medicine in Istanbul, Turkey, and went on to complete a full-time Master of Science in Psychiatry at Cardiff University, where a dissertation examined the role of adjuvant memantine in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Dr Bajaber also holds the Diploma of Legal Medicine (DLM), is a Section 12(2)-approved doctor under the Mental Health Act 1983, and is an Affiliate Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Dr Bajaber is currently undertaking postgraduate study in Mental Health Law at the University of Exeter, working towards Approved Clinician (AC) status.
Beyond inpatient psychiatry, Dr Bajaber brings sixteen years of experience as a Forensic Medical Examiner. This forensic background, combined with earlier surgical training in ENT and Trauma & Orthopaedics at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, has given Dr Bajaber a broad and grounded clinical perspective.
Dr Bajaber’s practice is characterised by a collaborative, patient-centred approach — working closely with service users, families, carers, and colleagues across primary and secondary care to ensure safe, well-coordinated treatment and discharge planning, and to support the recovery of patients with complex mental health needs.
