Having worked as GP in St Ives for the past 23 years, I joined the new Grove partnership in 2020. I enjoy working with our fantastic GP colleagues, manager and wider team and am grateful for the patience of our patients in these testing times.

I have worked as a partner in general practice in the Cambridge area since 1998. I was delighted to join the team at Grove in 2020, less delighted when the pandemic started shortly after! I am passionate about and enjoy all aspects of general practice. I am also Clinical Director of St Ives Primary Care Network. The challenges facing the NHS are enormous currently – we remain committed to working through these.
All of this means my free time is somewhat limited but I very much enjoy spending time with my 3 sons, now of an age turning into young adults. I love my garden and being able to travel again is fantastic!
