My sincere condolences to Frank’s family, friends, colleagues, and clients on his recent and sudden death. I had the pleasure of working alongside Frank in the Midlands Prison a few years back. I always enjoyed our chats and remember with fondness his broad and infectious laugh as we swapped stories & jokes alike. His sense of humour was integral to his work. He was a good and dedicated doctor whose death is a loss to the mental health service. May he rest in peace.
Go gently Frank! Your work is done.
