Today we say a fond farewell to Prof Stefan Priebe on his last day in the Newham office after 25 years of working with East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) & QMUL Centre for Psychiatry & Mental Health. This Unit would not exist without him and he leaves behind a great legacy. Wishing him a very happy retirement!
