I am married to a now retired Gynaecologist and have 3 adult children, all still financially dependent for the next few years so I won't be hanging up my stethoscope any time soon. I keep up my telephone triage skills working for NHS111 and London Ambulance Service in Croydon and I also work for the weekend hub with West Kent GP Federation. I don't find much time for my sporting passions, but continue to swim and walk regularly and ski ski with the family whenever possilbe. |

I have worked at the Amherst since 2005 first as the registrar and more recently as a retained doctor working part-time.

I grew up in the Westerham/Sevenoaks area and was educated locally too. I look forward to being able to give something back to the local community that I know so well.
