I have been in a fortunate position to be able to educate and inspire the doctors of tomorrow a number of times in my career so far. As a student myself once, I valued hearing about the experience of others, as often more could be learned from this than books.
What piece of advice would you give to others knowing what you know now?
As a general practitioner, a lot of thought and processing goes on behind formulating a management plan and diagnosis. Sometimes, this can take a few visits until an end goal is reached. This groundwork, I believe, is a vital part of the job to provide you with the most comprehensive medical care and if needed, to give you that script.

Don’t be alarmed if you see me and Annie wearing masks today in clinic. Given the nature of COVID-19, we desperately don’t want to spread any bugs to our patients who may be immunocompromised, elderly, frail or pregnant.
So if you’ve recently travelled abroad in the past 14 days or have been in close contact with a case of Coronavirus, or are concerned you have symptoms of the virus, please call the clinic in advance.
We are unable to test for the virus and we will happily give you advice and direct you to a local testing centre.
Let’s keep our General Practice protected together so we can continue looking after you.
As a general practitioner, a lot of collaboration with other health professionals goes on behind the scenes. From speaking to the local pharmacist about which is the best medication to offer you, to speaking with hospital specialists about referrals and management plans.
Whilst it can be time consuming on a busy day, I believe it is an important part of the job to provide you with the most comprehensive medical care helping you to achieve your health goals.
