Summary
I am a highly qualified and motivated doctor with a wide range of experience. Following 10 years as a consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology, I chose to gain additional qualifications as a GP.
Many of the skills needed as a consultant in gynaecology- dealing with pressure, making time critical decisions, often in an emotive environment, breaking bad news, clear and empathetic communication - all are skills that are transferable to being a GP. I am accredited for contraception care, coil and implant fittings and removals .
I am currently a GP partner i a surgery with 24,000 patients. My work involves Clinical GP sessions, on calls, and management - I am the lead GP for women’s health.
During my training as a GP I developed an interest in dementia care. I have completed a post graduate qualification recognised by secondary care and the ICB, that enables me to diagnose and prescribe cognitive enhancers where appropriate.
During my year as a salaried GP , I did a mix of e consult, telephone , face to face appointments. I also did a complex gynae clinic and was the care home lead - hence had regular contact and chaired the PCN fragility hub sessions in rotation .

Skills
I am an experienced clinician and have a wide range of experience My experience in obstetrics and gynaecology involved making decisions in a timely manner, communication, empathy and collaborative decision making- all of which are crucial being a good GP as well as contraception, sexual health and contraception care
I am a partner in a surgery with 24,000 patients I’m the lead for women’s health I do a regular clinic where I fit coils and implants and over the last few years have significantly reduced the waiting time for coil and implant procedures from 4 months to 4 weeks- following a change in pathways which I worked in and implemented
A post implementation audit revealed safe practice and a complaint and complication rate lower than the national average , hence offered better efficiency and safe care compared to the previous pathway
The training process for GP , was challenging- to go from the senior most to the least experienced member of the team was challenging, I think I demonstrated perseverance, courage, grit and flexibility during this phase I enjoyed my time in primary care and my feedback from patients and collegues has been positive
