About

Dr. Waleed Ahmed is a highly respected senior consultant psychiatrist with 18 years of experience in the UK, both in public and private settings. He is based at the Priory Well Being Centre, Abu Dhabi, where he treats a variety of conditions.

Dr. Waleed is passionate about patient rights, holistic approaches to treatment, and patient-centred care, always involving young people or adults along with caregivers so that they are working together to understand difficulties and plan appropriate treatment. Focusing on an individual's strengths and using the bio-psycho-social model of care allow him to provide comprehensive services centred around each person's needs.

Dr Waleed trained at various NHS health trusts across England as a general psychiatric physician before completing specialist training in child and adolescent psychiatry at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. He has worked as a consultant psychiatrist at the West of Scotland Adolescent Inpatient Unit in Glasgow, UK, and has also held posts at Priory's only adult secure unit in Scotland.

Recognising his expertise, the Mental Welfare Commission of Scotland appointed him as a Designated Medical Practitioner to provide second opinions regarding mental disorders, and he was also selected as a panel member for the Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland.

Dr Waleed holds a Fellowship from the Royal College of Psychiatrists (FRCPsych).

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

— Dr Waleed Ahmed
