The Gloucestershire GP Education Trust Committee is comprised of experienced GP's and GP ST3/4s with an educational interest.
Salaried GP, GGPET Chair
Having spent most of my life in London latterly as an Oncology Registrar, I retrained and qualified as a GP in Gloucestershire in 2010.
GGPET was an amazing organisation to join as a trainee and being new to Gloucestershire- I was so inspired, I joined the Committee and am delighted to now Chair the organisation.
I enjoy a portfolio week, working as a Salaried GP in Gloucester, Gloucestershire ICB Cancer Clinical Lead and Breast Physician at Thirslestaine Breast Centre in addition to being Honorary Tutor as Chair of GGPET.
Locum GP and GGPET Committee Member
GP Retainer
I am currently a GP Retainer in Gloucestershire and have an interest in medical education. I have recently joined the GGPET Committee and am excited to be involved in arranging future educational events.
Salaried GP and GGPET Committee member
I was born in East London but spent much of my teenage years in sunny Mauritius. During that time, I completed my A-levels and enjoyed experiencing a rich blend of cultures and traditions. After studying Biomedical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London, I completed my medical training at Barts and The London in 2011. In 2015, I moved to Gloucester, trained as a GP at Churchdown Surgery, and loved it so much that I stayed on as a Salaried GP. I addition to my role as a GP, I have a specialist interest in Frailty. I work in the Frailty Assessment Unit at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and support the Frailty Virtual Ward. Teaching is another passion of mine, and I enjoy tutoring medical students from the University of Bristol—a particularly rewarding part of my week. Outside of work, life is busy (and fun!) with my three lively kids, my husband, and Pepper the cat. I love travelling, getting stuck into a good book, and finding new ways to boost well-being.Portfolio GP and GGPET Committee Member
I have been a GP in Gloucestershire since 1997, and for 15 years was a partner and GP trainer. My interests lie in women's health and in education and I love to be involved in both ! I am an appraiser and qualified coach as well. Since leaving my partnership in 2020 I have been able to enjoy a broad portfolio career which I have loved. I have two teenage children who keep me really busy outside of work and we love being active.GGPET Bookkeeper
I took over as Book-keeper from Kate Bartlett in April 2012. I manage the accounts, liaising with Rachel Gadsden in raising and settling invoices, report to the Treasurer Dr Stuart Nelson, and present the year's accounts to Hazlewoods.
Previously I worked as Finance Manager for Sixways Clinic for 9 1/2 years.
