I have been a partner in the practice since 2010 and my main responsibilities are being CQC lead and supporting our nurse and allied health care professionals.

When I am not in Alresford or working from home I can usually be found chasing after my two Labradors, watching my sons on a sports field or keeping myself fit on a Peloton bike.

Doctor

I completed my medical training locally at Southampton University, qualifying in 2013 and undertaking all my training placements in Winchester and Southampton hospitals. I was a registrar, here at Alresford for a 6 month period so knew I liked the practice before I applied for the job! I started in January 21 and work on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning. I am currently studying for a diploma in Sexual Health and have a real interest in women’s health and paediatrics.

Before medicine, I did 9 years as a Royal Artillery officer in the British Army, I then went off to medical school sponsored by the Army and did a few years in its service before family life needed to take more of a front seat. I have two children aged 8 and 12 and spend the latter end of the week giving them my full attention. I am happily married and we as a family love to spend our free time in the mountains on skis or bikes or by the sea, surfing.

Usual sessions: Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday.

Doctor

I started working in Alresford in 2022, after completing medical school in Edinburgh and then working in London for the next 12 years. I have always wanted to work in a small, friendly community, and Alresford so far fits the brief! I work Tuesdays to Fridays in the mornings, and my particular interests are sexual health and women’s health. I also am passionate about lifestyle medicine and try hard to follow my own advice, so on my day off I enjoy going for runs in the countryside!

Doctor

I trained in Southampton, qualifying as a Dr in 1998 having always wanted to be a GP. I went straight into my GP training in Winchester and qualified in 2003, taking up partnership in Romsey which I did for 12.5 yrs. Since I left there, I’ve worked in New Zealand and around Hampshire as a locum, before joining Alresford in 2022 as a retained GP.

A retained GP means that I have lots of other roles and so my clinical time is more limited so that I am able to do those roles. I am passionate about helping as many people as possible live healthier lives and to avoid suffering wherever possible, and also about our colleagues as they progress through their medical careers, both within GP and in other specialities.

My specialist interests are the mind-body connection and how the way we think impacts the way we feel. In my spare time (what spare time?!!) I sing in a local choir, run and play racket ball and occasionally play African drums. My working days are generally Thursday and Friday, but I am lucky enough to be flexible because of my other roles, so you might find me there on other days too.

Usual working days: Thursdays and Fridays (but with some variability)
