Meet the Team

I have been a GP for 12 years, and recently moved to Alsager to be nearer my home and family. I enjoy getting to know my patient as a whole person, and not just as a disease. I have special interests in Minor Surgery, Women and Children, and Diabetes. When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my children, running and watching Dr Who. I qualified from Newcastle-upon-Tyne with a BMedSci and MBBS; I have MRCGP and DRCOG; I have worked in Stoke (where I did 3 years of Surgical training before I decided to switch to being a GP), Macclesfield and Northwich. And I LOVE skiing (if I can go!).

I qualified as a GP in 2015, undertaking my hospital training and GP training in North Staffordshire. Prior to this I completed my BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences at Durham University in 2004 followed by my Medical degree at Newcastle University in 2009. I then moved back home to North Staffordshire to be closer to my family and completed my hospital training and GP training in Staffordshire. I worked as a GP in North Staffordshire until 2019, when I joined the Cedars and became a GP Partner in April 2020. My interests are in medical education, having recently becoming a GP Trainer at the practice. I am also Clinical Lead for Early Cancer Diagnosis for SMASH PCN and I have interests in health technology and GP Mentoring. I have enjoyed working in Alsager and getting to know my patients. I look forward to getting to know more of you in the near future.
