I am proficient in assessing and treating patients of all ages, including pregnant women and those with mental health concerns. I have specialised training in suicide prevention /Assist. Expertise in women's health, contraception, HRT & testosterone therapy, acne, dermatology issues, and men's health. I can confidently navigates healthcare systems such as EMIS, RIO, PACS, ICE & C The signs while conducting medication reviews using STOMP. I am dedicated in providing comprehensive care and referring patients for further expertise when necessary. I am also a confident yet very cautious prescriber and happy to prescribe in all areas within my clinical competencies.

I am motivated, reliable and keen to improve services that primary care is currently enduring. In my previous role, i helped develop and lead the emergency duty team with the support from the duty DR on the day. This allowed the Duty Dr to concentrate of more complex cases and admin where i was able to filter the urgent and non urgent cases, book in apts or complete over the phone assessments following a successful telephone triage.

I take so much pride in my career and have excellent communication skills which i can adapt according to the individual, ie autism, children, dementia patients or even just individuals that are in pain, scared or frustrated. I am able to de-escalate situations and have good management skills in dealing with complaints at the time to minimise any future upset or concern.

As you can see I have a very good work record and am committed to my patients.
