MBChB (Edinburgh 1995), MRCP (Edin 1999), MRCGP

I hail from the Scottish Borders and moved to Wantage as Registrar to Dr Bryan in 1999. I loved the practice so much, I never left! I became a partner in 2001, and qualified as a GP Trainer in 2005.

My previous training included adult and paediatric A&E, Geratology and the beginnings of a career in General Medicine. I switched to General Practice initially because I couldn't find one specific subject I enjoyed more than others. I quickly realised that General Practice suited my personality and consulting style. I strongly feel that it is a great privilege to care for patients and their families, supporting them in their most difficult- and sometimes happiest- times of their lives. I have been made to feel very welcome in Church Street over the years.

Owing to working 3/4 time and the commitments of training, I do not currently have any other special interests within the practice, but enjoy the day-to-day varied consultations.

My husband is a nurse and we have 2 young children, who form my main outside interest! I also enjoy cycling (with child generally attached!), reading (particularly forensic novels), my new Wii fit and Japanese culture and history.
