Gavin Pierpoint

I am a second year resident doctor, who has undertaken roles within a tertiary hospital, encompassing many different specialties. I have helped effectively initiate treatment and management of patient's with multiple co-morbidities, ensuring patient-centred care is always at the forefront of my clinical decision making.

I consider myself a highly motivated Resident Doctor with clinical experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. Familiar with performing diagnostic procedures, providing patient education and working closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.

My aspirations are to become a cardiologist, having actively participated in cardiovascular research and wanting to expand and increase my understanding of cardiovascular medicine to become a more comprehensive and skilled physician, which I can carry forth into a long and rewarding career as a Consultant Cardiologist.
