Anna Perks
@annaperks
Experienced GP and palliative medicine specialist delivering compassionate primary and supportive care.
What I'm looking for
I am a UK-based General Practitioner and palliative medicine specialist with MBChB, MRCGP and DFSRH, offering compassionate, patient-centered primary and supportive care across community, hospice and hospital settings.
Over a 20+ year career I have worked as a GP partner, salaried GP, locum, and specialist doctor in palliative and supportive medicine, with experience in oncology, acute medicine and teaching; I have led audits, delivered training and supported end-of-life care pathways.
I balance clinical practice with teaching, clinical governance and small-business ownership in garden planning and landscaping, and I am seeking flexible GP roles that value multidisciplinary teamwork, continuity of care and opportunities to contribute to education and service improvement.
