Summary

Dedicated GP trainee completing ST3 in June 2026, with a passion for the variety and continuity that general practice offers. Through rotations in Frailty, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Dermatology and others, I have developed strong skills in managing both acute and chronic conditions. I have also led a quality improvement project focused on the primary prevention of cholesterol, improving practice processes and patient care. Feedback from patients and colleagues have been consistently positive. I am keen to join a supportive practice where I can contribute to continuity of care while maintaining a sustainable working pattern.
