MBChB MRCGP

Following graduation in 1993 I worked for five years in various hospital specialities. I enjoyed every department I worked in and was reluctant to select just one speciality and forsake all others.. That's when I realised that General Practice would be right for me. I completed my GP training and became a Member of the Royal College of GPs in 1999, returning to hospital briefly for a further 6 months to gain additional experience before settling down to life as a full-time GP.

Hours:  Monday, Tuesday & Thursday all day and Friday morning.

MBChB BSc DFSRH DRCOG MRCGP

I graduated from Medical School in Glasgow in 2004 after completing my BSc (Hons) at St Andrews University in 1999. As I had always wanted to become a generalist I then spent a number of years in training, mainly in North East Glasgow, to become a GP and I joined this practice as a partner in 2010. As well as being a Member of the Royal College of GPs I have postgraduate diplomas in sexual health and gynaecology.

My main area of professional interest is Palliative Care. I previously worked at the Marie Curie Hospice in Stobhill and I undertake training for local GPs in the palliative care. I am also the lead trainer in the Practice for GP training.

Hours: Tuesday to Friday all day

MBChB MRCGP MRCP

After qualifying in 2002 I worked in a variety of hospital specialites. I then worked in General Medicine for around 3 years before deciding to pursue General Practice as my chosen specialty. I am a member of both the Royal College of GPs and the Royal College of Physicians. I am also undertaking a higher qualification in Sexual Health and Contraception.  I am also a trainer in the Practice for GPs in training.

I really enjoy being a GP and the challenges that it brings but mostly I enjoy the continuity of seeing patients on a regular basis.

MBChB 2000, MRCP, MRCGP, DCH, dip Dermatology  

I graduated in 2000 from The University Of Glasgow and initially worked in Australia in accident and emergency. Having decided on a career in dermatology, I trained as a physician in Cambridge before returning to Glasgow. Although I continued to be interested in dermatology, I realised that in order to really treat any condition it is more satisfying if you can influence other aspects of a patient's life and health which play a part in their problems. General practice was the solution for me. 

MBchB RCPCH MRCGP DCH

I graduated from Medical School in Dundee in 2009 and completed my training as a GP in 2015.

I have been fortunate enough to work in multiple different hospital specialities as part of my training. Since finishing my GP training in 2015 I have worked in a variety of different GP practices around Glasgow.  My postgraduate education has centred around paediatrics.

In addition to working in the practice I also continue to work in other local GP practices and work for the out of hours service.

I work all day Wednesday, Thursday morning and all day Friday.

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions, dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with patient records and day to day administrative duties.
