I joined the practice as a partner in 2010. I have previously worked in the practice as a registrar in 2007/8 then as a locum in 2008/9. I feel very fortunate to be a partner in a practice where patient centred care and education are so highly valued. I studied at University College London and graduated in 2003. I have previously worked in various hospital jobs in Jersey, London and Kent before starting my GP training in Oxford in 2005.
I wanted to become a GP to have the continuity that primary care offers- of being able to get to know patients over time not just looking at a snapshot of a problem. I feel that it is a great privilege to be part of people’s lives in this way.
My clinical interests include Paediatrics and Diabetes. I am the practice’s research lead and work closely with the Thames Valley and South Midlands Clinical Research Network. Primary care research is vital for improving patient care and clinical knowledge so if you get invited to be part of a study by me, it would be great to have you involved!
I live locally with my two boys. Outside medicine I am a keen film buff, I enjoy climbing and walking, and have a love of food, modern art and photography. I play tennis badly and support QPR (someone has to!). I look forward to seeing you inside and outside the practice whether you need a doctor or not.
