Comprehensive General Practice with a Holistic Outlook. With over two decades of experience as an NHS GP and more recently also working as a Health Assessment GP, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care with a strong emphasis on patient empowerment. My background as both a GP partner and a salaried GP has given me deep insight into the needs of patients with long-term conditions, and I’m passionate about health promotion and preventative care.
Currently practising in the Newbury and Reading area, I offer unhurried consultations and tailored lifestyle guidance. I aim to help every patient improve their physical and mental well-being, combining traditional general practice with a holistic, patient-centred approach.
Medical Education and Training
Having qualified as a doctor from University College London in 1999, my hospital experience included rotations in: Obstetrics and gynaecology, Accident and Emergency, Paediatrics, Elderly care and General Medicine. I then spent time working on the Acute Stroke Unit at the Royal Berkshire hospital. Witnessing the life changing impact a stroke can have on an individual and their family, sparked my interest in health promotion and prevention.
I completed my GP training in Thatcham near Newbury. Following this, I have worked for over 20 years as an NHS GP in Tilehurst, Reading.
Clinical Expertise
I have extensive experience in managing the full spectrum of general practice conditions affecting all ages from young children to the elderly with a particular focus on:
• Continuity of Care – building long-term relationships that support better health outcomes.
• Chronic Disease Management – especially asthma, COPD, hypertension, cardiovascular risk, and diabetes prevention.
• Lifestyle Medicine – supporting patients in adopting sustainable, health-enhancing behaviours.
• Women’s Health – including cervical screening, menopause care, and health promotion.
In my role as a Health Assessment GP, I conduct comprehensive health assessments and provide individual lifestyle coaching.
Other Experience
As a former GP Partner and clinical lead, I led several patient improvement projects, including the development of recall systems, clinical protocols and patient communications for long-term condition reviews to improve patient care.
I was involved in the mentoring, training and supervision of a variety of clinical staff working in general practice.
Personal Life
Outside the clinic, I enjoy being in nature and walking my dog. I'm married with three grown-up children and love spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy swimming, travelling, and have recently discovered walking football. My personal interests reflect my belief in staying active and connected as key pillars of health.
