Head of Academic Military General Practice for Defence Medical Services.
Generalist at heart, so fingers in too many pies! RoyalNavy GP, MPH, GP trainer, doctoral student @KCMHR. Mum, wife, owned by cats. (she/her)
I've been renovating a room in our #OldHouse. Gypsum off, lime on, limewashing this weekend. But I've also been upcycling old furniture.

The cats seem impressed with the sideboard that's going in my study!

Doctoral thesis successfully defended.

Huge thanks to @simondymond.bsky.social and Alan Finnegan for a great discussion of my thesis this morning. And to Dan @leightley.bsky.social, Nicola and Neil for the last few years of supervision!

In London for a meeting of the Defence Professors and have arrived far too early. I do like being able to get work done at the @rcgp.bsky.social members' lounge. It's very quiet here though!

Play buzzword bingo at the #RCGPAC during Wes Streeting's talk this morning.

I'm shocked (but sadly not surprised) that this needed to be written!

I highly recommend Emma Dabiri's book

Today started at 0345, for a workshop on women's health hosted by the Australians.

Cats provided much hilarity by pouncing each other and play fighting just at the point I was speaking.

Now onto the surgery for my NHS time. Fuelled by coffee today!

Back into teaching mode for me today with our #DefenceGPTrainees.

A morning of consultation skills and now talking about high altitude medicine. Its cold, windy, dry (even with snow), there's less oxygen and electrical storms.

I'm not sure why anyone likes mountains!

Tell me you work in the NHS with a picture....

I was talking about writing a new GP book list with our registrars over dinner so this is well timed!

Day 1 #BookSky 💙📚 #Books

House of God by Samuel Shem. Old and dated in some respects, such vital relevance still now. I remain convinced it should be required reading for all Drs.
