Kent, Surrey and Sussex

GP salaried @ Woodingdean Medical Centre, Brighton, East Sussex

I am a longstanding member of the local group and I chair our meetings. In my role I respond to emails, discuss sustainability solutions with members, liaise with local organisations and coordinate meetings. I am passionate about bringing the best minds together and in this role I have seen great ideas and enthusiasm transform into real change.

For me, sustainability is about delivering top quality clinical care from the heart and with a smile. I value deep listening to patients and colleagues, treating the whole patient, taking time for person-centred decisions, teaching and deepening my knowledge, and checking in with myself to maintain maximum empathy levels now and into the future.

My work in palliative care taught me that great care doesn’t need to cost the earth, when we sit down, take the time to understand the person in front of us and treat their life and their time as the most precious resource of all. Other fields of particular clinical interest to me are respiratory, neurology, primary care management of long term conditions and PTSD.

Current projects are long term conditions complex case clinic, GP based MDT asthma clinic, nature-based interventions. Previous projects include cycling and health promotion and Green Impact for health toolkit.
