RCPsych Awards 2020 Lifetime Achievement Award Presented to Baroness Elaine Murphy

A quick look at the online biographies of Baroness Murphy leaves one in no doubt that a lifetime achievement award is the least the College should offer. Producer of seminal papers, (outcome of depression in old age), first Professor of Old Age Psychiatry, founder of an internationally renowned journal, trail blazing general manager, Chair of a health authority and from 2004 cross bench Baroness of Aldgate. More latterly historian of Norfolk and mental health services and so much more. Enough said. This is undoubtedly a public life of very great note.

But this glittering CV gives surprisingly little insight as to how Baroness Murphy came to apply her tremendous energies in such a humane way; passionately championing those doubly neglected, the old and mentally ill, taking time and trouble to forward their interests in a language that makes complex issues accessible to the lay person, developing models to enable quality services to be delivered in often difficult economic times, providing the right kind of support and encouragement to generations of Old Age Psychiatrists and exploring the fate of the mentally ill, tossed on the tides of social and political change, to give us particularly pertinent lessons as we face the challenges of COVID 19 and its aftermath.

Perhaps it was early experiences of community in Nottingham, her father’s first job at the local mine, that fostered this approach, becoming attuned to the range of voices not only the strident but the also the quiet even silent, when considering an issue. Her tremendous intellect is always tempered with both kindness and humour from cellist scrotum to her enquiry of the minister about their sightings of trees in Norfolk.

Already the recipient of the Older Adults Mental health life time achievement award, it is hard to think of anyone more deserving of the prestigious College Lifetime Achievement Award than Baroness Murphy.
