GP Year Lead and Clinical Tutor

I am a GP Year Lead and Clinical Tutor for the School of Medicine, and I also work as a local GP in Sunderland.

Teaching and supervision

I have enjoyed clinical teaching for over a decade in both Oxford and Newcastle upon Tyne, and my GP Tutor role has enabled me to further develop my understanding of educational theory.

The breadth of General Practice continues to fascinate me, and I believe primary care offers medical students an authentic, unabridged learning experience.

GMC number: 7040640

Professional Qualifications and Memberships:
MA DPhil BMBCh, DCH, PGCert Med Ed, MRCGP, MRCP

My other portfolio roles include being an assessor and clinical lead for national and international GP recruitment.
