Dr Gary SidleyDr Gary Sidley

"Dr Sidley is a freelance writer, trainer, and blogger. In 2013, he opted for early retirement from his post of Professional Lead/Consultant Clinical Psychologist after 33 continuous years of employment in the UK’s National Health Service. He began his career as a psychiatric nurse in 1980 and qualified as a clinical psychologist in 1989. In 2000, he obtained his PhD for a thesis exploring the psychological predictors of suicidal behaviour. In early 2020, he became extremely concerned about the Government’s response to the ‘coronavirus crisis’; his writings on this subject can be found on his ‘CORONABABBLE’ blog. Gary is also a member of the Health Advisory & Recovery Team (HART), and the Smile Free campaign to lift all mask mandates. Gary is currently leading on a research project into the UK’s deployment of behavioural science strategies during the Covid event, and the ethical implications of the state using these methods on its own people."
