I attended medical school in Manchester and graduated in 1998. I survived being a junior doctor and went on to complete GP training in Rochdale. I have been working as a GP in Blyth since 2007. I have loved getting to know the town and its residents. Despite the hard work I enjoy my job and hope to be around for a long time to come.

My specific roles include practice prescribing lead, clinical complaints lead and musculoskeletal lead. I am trained to administer joint injections (for shoulder and knee joints).
