Mike Kerr
Professor of Learning Disability Psychiatry,
Honorary Consultant in Neuropsychiatry,
Cardiff University
My name is Mike Kerr and I am Professor of Learning Disability Psychiatry and Honorary Consultant in Neuropsychiatry at Cardiff University. I initially trained as a general practitioner before deciding to train in psychiatry.
My clinical practice is in the types of epilepsy associated with learning disability and in the assessment and treatment of epilepsy and psychiatric disorder. I have published widely on the subject of health care delivery for people with a learning disability, including a range of studies on the management of epilepsy and the delivery of Health Checks. I am particularly interested in how employment can improve the health of people with a learning disability.
I am on the council of the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual Disability. I chair the Epilepsy Action Wales advisory board and work as a medical advisor to the Rett society and Epilepsy Bereaved. In my spare time I enjoy mountain biking along the Taff trail.
