I believe in being proactive in medical care and in the importance of preventative medicine, and I am passionate about this aspect of healthcare to help patients make informed decisions about their care and wellbeing.

I work in the NHS as a GP and have general practice experience of nearly 20 years. I enjoy the challenge of managing a broad spectrum of medical problems in any age group and in various settings.

I am very passionate about teaching and training. I teach Birmingham medical students, trainee GPs and colleagues across the board which I find very rewarding. This helps us all to keep up to date with the communication skills as well as evidence based current practice and their use in clinical decision making.

Having worked as a GP partner for over 17 years, I also enjoy the management of running a practice, looking at protocols and procedures, and being the CQC manager for my team.

I am also a GP appraiser which entails me working for NHS England and providing support to GP colleagues from across the West Midlands in reviewing their performance, learning and working towards their revalidation.

I also offer remote appointments if more convenient for my patients.

frequently asked questions

A Private GP offers the same high-quality medical care as an NHS GP, but with faster appointments, longer consultations, and greater flexibility. You don’t need to be registered with an NHS doctor to see a Private GP, and appointments can often be booked on the same day. Private GPs also provide more time for discussion, personalised care, and can refer you quickly to private specialists or diagnostic services when needed.

 

With a Private GP, you can often get an appointment on the same day or within 24 hours. Many private clinics offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments, as well as online or telephone consultations for added convenience. This means you can see a doctor when it suits you, without long waiting times or delays in diagnosis and treatment.

 

Yes, you can still use all NHS services even if you visit a Private GP. Seeing a Private GP does not affect your NHS registration. You can continue to access NHS prescriptions, hospital referrals, and emergency care whenever you need them. Many patients use a combination of both services — private GPs for speed and convenience, and the NHS for long-term or specialist treatments.
