Cramond Medical Practice

I graduated from Glasgow University in 1980 and underwent further training in General Medicine, A&E, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and an extended period within Paediatrics, before entering General Practice in 1986. My interests within the practice include Children's Health, Asthma, Chronic Respiratory disease and General Medicine. I undertake a regular Dermatology session in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and have lectureship and examining responsibilities for several Paediatric and Dermatology courses.

I graduated from Glasgow University in 1983 and underwent training in General Medicine and a period in Opthalmology before entering General Practice. I am the doctor responsible for the training of the Registrar, who is regularly attached to the practice for a year for postgraduate training in General Practice. My main clinical interests are OpthaImology, Minor Surgery and General Medical problems.

I qualified from Edinburgh in 1987 and completed posts in A&E Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Community Paediatrics, Psychiatry and Care of the Elderly during my GP training in Fife and the Lothians. I then spent a year working in Australia before settling down to General Practice, joining the practice in Cramond in 1997. My main interests are Women's and Children's Health and Family Planning. I have non-clinical responsibility within the Practice for Prescribing and Coronary Heart Disease monitoring.

I qualified in Medicine in 1975 in Wales, having also studied at St. Andrew's University. I spent several years in hospital medicine before entering General Practice in Corstorphine and at the Scottish Office. I have responsibility for the organisation of diabetic care within the Practice, also working at the Western General Hospital in the Diabetic Clinic. I enjoy all aspects of medicine in General Practice.

Having qualified from Edinburgh University in 1992, I worked in various hospital posts covering A&E, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Care of the Elderly, Psychiatry, ENT and Community Paediatrics. I have worked part-time as a partner in Cramond since 2000. I particularly enjoy working with children and helping with women’s health problems, as well as the challenge of supporting people with chronic medical conditions.

I work part-time on the “GP Retainer Scheme”, which is a five-year flexible career scheme for doctors returning to work after having children. My special interests include family planning and women’s health.
