David Ibrahim

David Ibrahim is a psychiatry trainee in the second year of training at Northamptonshire NHS Foundation Trust. He is a trainee representative on the executive committee of the Spirituality and Psychiatry Special Interest Group of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He has a long-standing interest in the intersection of spirituality and mental health that started from his practice in Egypt in the field of addiction psychiatry and outpatient clinics prior to his move to the UK. David has given lectures on the topic of spirituality and mental health to the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Youth Group in 2022 and the Emerging Peacemakers Forum, second edition, in Geneva in 2023.

David is a graduate from the Emerging Peacemakers Forum that was held in Cambridge in collaboration with Rose Castle Foundation and the Muslim Council of Elders as a representative of the Coptic Orthodox Church. This has helped grow his interest in interfaith and intercultural dialogue and the effect of different faiths on mental health.
