Dr Ruth Dawson

Hi. My name is Ruth and I am the Consultant Psychiatrist for Sheffield Eating Disorders Assessment and Treatment Team (SEDATT). I qualified as a Doctor in 1996 and have worked as a Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist since 2009. I have a passion for working with young people and their families who have suffered with eating disorders and have been lucky enough to be able to specialise in this area of work since 2018. I have worked as an Inpatient Consultant and as a Community CAMHS Consultant, as well as having trained as a GP a long time ago. I have 2 children. Our home wouldn’t be complete without our pets, so don’t be surprised if you see dog hairs on my clothes and if I ask to see pictures of your own pets!
