MBBS Bsc nMRCGP DCH  University College London 2003

I am the practices newest partner and I think Church Street is a great practice with the same ideals regarding medicine and patient care that I warmly share. It is the sort of place that I wish I could be registered at; with a friendly, welcoming staff and intelligent, compassionate nurses and doctors.

I am also glad that I have found a lovely town like Wantage with beautiful surrounding countryside. Slightly different than growing up in North London- less hustle and bustle but that suits me fine! I just hope that I can move closer sooner rather than later! I have never enjoyed commuting and have always envisaged a family doctor being part of the community and living close to their practice.

For those who don’t know I am a London boy who not only grew up there but also studied medicine at University College London. I am the first ever doctor in my family. I have done many different hospital jobs working as far as Jersey and as close as the JR. Out of the specialties I have experienced I developed a passion for paediatrics and have the most experience in that area of medicine. I wanted to become a GP to have the continuity that primary care offers- of being able to get to know patients over time not just looking at a snapshot of a problem. I feel that it is a great privilege to be part of people’s lives in this way.

I hope that I bring something new to Church Street other than lowering the average age! On a more serious note I think I will be a good fit here not only continuing the values which are firmly established but also developing different ways of doing things.

In my time outside medicine I am a keen film buff (if you want to stay longer than 10mins just mention Akira Kirosawa or Pedro Almodovar!) I enjoy climbing and walking, and have a love of modern art and photography. I play tennis badly and support QPR (I know someone has to!).

I look forward to seeing you inside and outside the practice whether you need a doctor or not!
