Confident GP with over 15 years of diverse experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a confident GP with over 15 years of experience working in Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, and Bromley. My current role in inner-city London presents unique challenges, including language barriers and varied cultural health beliefs. I have trained in affluent areas, which has equipped me to handle diverse patient needs effectively.
My vocational training included Paediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and I continuously update my skills through ongoing practice and CPD activities. I am passionate about providing quality consultations and maintaining continuity of care, which I believe is essential in family medicine. My multicultural background allows me to connect with patients from various backgrounds, enhancing my ability to deliver compassionate care.
