Dr Stephanie King

I am a qualified General Practitioner who completed training in NHS Borders and have lived and worked in this community for most of my career. I bring several years of experience in emergency medicine, orthopaedic surgery and acute medicine within a hospital environment but I have developed a strong interest in remote and rural practice and hold the Pre Hospital Emergency Care (BASICS) qualification. My work in this environment has involved managing a varied and complex clinical workload, including periods as the sole GP responsible for clinics, A&E and out-of-hours services. I have gained further training in sexual and women’s health during my year as a Borders GP Fellow. I also have skills in minor surgery from my work in A&E and have attended RCGP minor surgery along with joint injection courses during GP training. Currently, I provide palliative care leadership in my practice, and chair our monthly multidisciplinary palliative care meetings. I am now looking to bring this breadth of experience to a practice that values commitment, continuity and long term contribution to its community. I maintain my BLS and anaphylaxis certifications annually and plan to continue renewing BASICS every three years.
