I enjoy the diversity of General Practice and the continuity of care it offers and joined the Southampton GP training programme in 2013, finishing in 2016.

I qualified from Southampton medical school in 1991 and gained experience as a junior doctor in general medicine, surgery, A and E, obstetrics and gynaecology, ENT, paediatrics and ophthalmology. I then joined the GP training scheme in Portsmouth, passing the MRCGP in 1996 and subsequently working in general practice in Portsmouth. I spent nearly 10 years in Los Angeles where I spent most of my time caring for my young children interspersed with some medical volunteer work in Mexico which involved flying in small planes and landing on dirt air strips! I subsequently returned to general practice in the UK, sitting more exams before completing a supervised and assessed placement here at The Grange. I have since been employed here as a salaried GP and I am very much enjoying working with the excellent team of doctors, nurses, admin and reception staff.
