Department Clinical Role Consultant Psychiatrist Locations Head Office Remote status Fully Remote About Skylight Psychiatry Skylight Psychiatry was set up by two professionals with a common goal to improve the lives of the neurodiverse population. Dedicated to providing the right support for the neurodiverse population and through their own professional and personal experiences, identifying the ongoing imbalance between those waiting for formal assessments/treatment and the current support offered by stretched NHS services during a global pandemic, who do their best to provide this support. The additional waiting times cause prolonged suffering for patients and this is one of the main reasons why Skylight Psychiatry was formed.
