I trained in Cardiff and then worked as a surgeon before starting as a GP in Southampton in 2005.
I have a special interest in training and education. I lead Living Well Partnerships dedicated Non-Principal GP Team and train both undergraduate and postgraduate learners as well as holding the Education and Environment Lead role. Most recently taken on the Principal investigator for Living Well Partnership where we have gone from 3 project to over 75 in a space of less than 18 months. I am also the Deputy Director for Primary Medical Care (PMC) with the University of Southampton, training teachers and promoting General Practice to medical students.
As a member of the Governing Body for Southampton City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and the lead for Engagement for Primary Care I give GPs and practice nurses bi-monthly opportunities to update their skills, learn about new treatments and share good practice. I am also Vice Chair to the Wessex Faculty Royal College of General Practitioners, facilitating contact between GPs and hospital consultants within Southampton.
