ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Over the last 8 and a half years I have enjoyed gaining experience and building confidence in all aspects of General Practice.. I pride myself on excellent communication skills and have developed good relationships with colleagues and patients. I particularly enjoy women's health and child health, and this year I have completed a training course in SILP which will allow me to carry out independent Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews. My knowledge and experience of safeguarding is also useful in my roles as a Governor at a local primary school, and as a volunteer with Barnsley Youth Choir. I live in Horbury close to extended family, and very much like being a part of the local community. I enjoy Pilates, piano lessons, walking my 2 dogs and spending time with my husband and two young children.
