Don't know and don't really care ... he could still have some other current occupation ... I just heard him on the British commercial wireless (radio) earlier this PM, this is not what we really talking about ... the point is, here in the United Kingdom, a
neuropsychopharmacologistis a kind of a doctor which specialises in a special field of
psychopharmacology, and is a 'regulated profession'. According to the GMC's (
General Medical Council) website's Register section
[13], Prof Nutt no longer has a 'licence to practice' as of 28.06.2017, therefore he is not a doctor, therefore he is not and cannot be a current or practising psychopharmacologist. Comprendre?! ---

I think Wikipedia may have a different definition of
europsychopharmacologist to the one enforced by the GMC. And I don't see the word "practicing" anywhere in the article?

Neuropsychopharmacology is a scientific discipline - for example one can earn a PhD in that field. It is also something that psychiatrists take into account in their medical practices as MDs. The article does not say anywhere that he is practicing medicine or psychiatry.

Martinevans123 (

smack". reply
So, is that it? You're arguing that because, in your view, "a neuropsychopharmacologist is a kind of a doctor", that only those who are currently medical practitioners can be described as neuropsychopharmacologists? Nutt has worked as a clinical scientist, but has he ever been registered as a medical practitioner with the GMC? Can you show us when he was last registered? Isn't it a bit like asking "
when did you stop being a idiot"? Thanks.

General psychiatry From 01 Jul 1996 but is not currently licensed to practise
Psychopharmacology From 01 Jul 1996 but is not currently licensed to practise
GP Register entry date -- This doctor is not on the GP Register
So he was registered to practice medicine but his registration has lapsed. It doesn't say when it lapsed. (it is a bummer that the site doesn't create a permalink) I looked briefly for refs actually discussing him practicing medicine and when and why he stopped but didn't find any; if they are out there, this would be fine to include.
We should not do anything now as we don't have good sources for him practicing or not. there are lots of refs about him as a scientist.
Jytdog (

Thanks for adding. That's now a lot clearer. But I'm still not sure that Wikipedia requires GMC registration under General psychiatry, under Psychopharmacology or as a GP, for a subject to be described as a neuropsychopharmacologist?
Martinevans123 (
talk) 21:25, 29 April 2018 (UTC)reply
The IP has a good point, that we should not lead the reader to think we practices medicine and that is why i removed "psychiatrist". There are plenty of sources for him as a neuropsychpharm scientist. The current first couple of sentences make him sound very much like a scientist; not a doctor.
Jytdog (
talk) 21:33, 29 April 2018 (UTC)reply
I thought the IP's only point was to insert "former", which I don't agree with. I agree he's more of a scientist than a practitioner, and certainly not what most people would call "a doctor".
Martinevans123 (
talk) 21:47, 29 April 2018 (UTC)reply
It seems from the above that he's still a doctor, registered with the GMC, but doesn't currently have an up to date licence for clinical practice in any specialty. This would be fairly normal for an academic doctor who doesn't actually do any clinical practice. I hope this helps.

Yes, thanks, Richard. That is also exactly my understanding.

Done. Thanks for weighing in,
