Hi there! 👋

I’m Dr. Ahmed Waqas, a psychiatrist and public mental health researcher currently working in the NHS (UK) and at the University of Liverpool. Over the last decade, I’ve helped hundreds of students and early-career clinicians transform their research ideas into publishable projects — from clinical audits and service evaluations to systematic reviews, cross-sectional studies, and meta-analyses.

I know how overwhelming it can feel to start a research project — juggling deadlines, data, and design decisions — especially without structured mentorship. That’s why I created this page: to offer affordable, personalised guidance for students, trainees, and professionals who want to make meaningful academic contributions in medicine and mental health.

🌍 About Me

I’ve published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, presented globally, and currently serve as Associate Editor for PLoS Global Public Health and BMC Psychiatry. My research work is focussed on developing scalable, digital mental health interventions.

🎓 Who This Is For

Medical students designing their first audit or research project

Psychiatry or public health trainees planning academic portfolio work

Early-career clinicians seeking to publish or apply for fellowships

International graduates aiming to strengthen their UK academic profile

I offer personalised guidance across all stages of the research journey:

✅ Design & Methods – Refining research questions, selecting study designs (audit, survey, trial, or review), and developing protocols.

✅ Data & Analysis – Advice on sampling, data collection, and basic statistical approaches.
