I was brought up in Oxford and left to go to medical school at University College London, where I qualified in 1986. After completing my GP training scheme at St Thomas’s Hospital , I joined the department of General Practice as Lecturer in 1990 and split my time between patient care , undergraduate teaching  and research. I gained a Master’s degree in General Practice in 1992 which really shaped how I work as a doctor. After starting a family, I moved to the Hurley Clinic in London to work more part time, and to concentrate on patient care- working there for a further 17 years before we moved back to Oxford. I was delighted to join Bartlemas Surgery as a Partner in  2014 and to be working in vibrant East Oxford. I have an interest in women’s health, mental health issues and the care of patients towards the end of their lives.  I am the practice OXFED lead.  Outside of work, I enjoy travelling with my husband, children or friends, looking after our dogs, gardening and yoga. Our three daughters are now grown up, so family time together is especially precious.
