Kalum Amarasuriya studied Medicine at Newcastle University and works as a consultant psychiatrist in Teesside. His team was awarded Intellectual Disabilities Team of the Year in 2019 by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, which praised their ‘single focus to do what is right for an individual as straightforwardly as possible’. He is most happy when cooking, reading, teaching his kids to play cricket and playing the guitar, although generally not all at the same time.
