Medical leadership built on two decades of specialism
Dr Otulana’s path into addiction medicine was deliberate. After completing his GP training, he pursued specialist qualifications in substance misuse and has worked within private residential rehabilitation ever since. That focused career gives him an understanding of detoxification and withdrawal that goes well beyond general clinical practice.
He also holds an MBA from Cambridge University Judge Business School, something that shapes how he thinks about care as much as how he delivers it. The rigour he brings to medical decision-making at Charterhouse Clinic is both clinical and considered.
The guidance behind detoxification and recovery
As a GP and addiction specialist physician, Dr Otulana oversees the medical care within the Charterhouse Clinic programme. He contributes to the development of clinical protocols that support safe, effective recovery and clear decision-making across the team.
His work helps connect medical treatment with the wider residential experience. Detoxification, withdrawal management, physical health monitoring, and clinical planning all need to sit within a calm and properly governed environment. Dr Otulana helps provide that medical foundation.
The result is care that feels considered rather than rushed. Clients are supported by a team that understands the medical demands of early recovery and the importance of getting those first stages right.
