Meet the Team

After qualifying from Norwich Medical School in 2012, I worked in London for 4 years in a variety of hospital rotations including  – Acute / Elderly care medicine, Intensive Care, Anaesthetics, Endocrinology, General surgery and Neurosurgery  – before deciding to become a GP.
I moved  to the Isle of Wight in 2016 to complete my GP training. Rotations included: Acute medicine, Stroke medicine, Obstetrics & gynaecology and mental health.
I continue to be passionate about delivering patient centred, holistic and evidence based care, and aim to support and guide my patients empowering them to make informed choices. I enjoy participating and watching a range of sports including football and rugby. I have completed the London marathon in 2008 raising money for the Stroke association.

I graduated from University of Chittagong in1997. After working in different specialities, I moved to UK in 2002 and worked in London as a Register in A&E. I moved to this beautiful island with my family in 2004 to do my GP vocational training. Ever since then I have been working for Island Healthcare. I worked as clinical lead for CCG for various departments. I have been a lead for Diabetes, Dementia and Learning disability at my previous work. I am an experienced GP and passionate about learning new developments in Medicine in and around the World. In addition to providing patient centred holistic care I am experienced in Minor Surgery and Joint injections. I enjoy the variety of work in General practice. Outside work I am engaged with different Charity and Social groups. I enjoy the great outdoors which the Island have to offer. I am a keen explorer and enjoy trekking and travel.

Having had a former career as an Army Officer, I decided to return to University to study Medicine. I qualified in Nottingham then moved for work and further GP training in Salisbury and Southampton.
I am married with three young sons, and we have moved to the Isle of Wight to enjoy all the outdoor sports and opportunities here. In my spare time I enjoy triathlon, paddleboarding and adventure races.

I graduated from Southampton medical school with a distinction in clinical medicine and trained in general practice in Winchester and Twyford. I moved to the Isle of Wight in 2008 to join the practice at Sandown. I am married and have three young sons and as a family we enjoy island life and weekends at the beach.​
 

I am an enthusiastic GP who is passionate about providing health services to the local community, helping people be as healthy as they can be and deal with a wide range of health problems of various complexity.
I trained at University College London and have worked in various hospitals and specialities across the South of England from Ipswich to Truro. I completed my GP training in Somerset in 2007, then took up a partnership where I grew up as a child in South West Wales. This is where I also started training GPs to be, another passion of mine.
In 2014, I made the move with my wife and three children to the Isle of Wight. My wife grew up on the Island and we had many lovely holidays to visit her family prior to moving. We are glad we made the move, it is proving to be a great place to bring up a family and for both outdoor and water sports activities that we enjoy. I am very happy that I am joining the Shanklin Medical Centre team which provides leading GP services and GP training on Island.

I moved to the Island when I joined the practice in October 2004. My wife grew up here and we have two young children. Visiting family here made us appreciate the quality of life an island like this can bring a family, with its mixture of seaside, rural and village life.
I trained at The Royal London Hospital and subsequently worked around London, on the South Coast and for six months in Australia, completing my GP training in Chichester in February 2000. I was then a full time GP in Emsworth for four years.
As a practice we strive to provide high quality family medicine and are willing to adapt to whatever changes are thrown at us in Primary Care. In the past I have enjoyed teaching medical students I now lead the practice in teaching GP registrars. I also have a role as a QOF assessor performing formative assessments to other practices on the Isle of Wight and probity assessments to mainland practices. I am also interested in the benefits a well run IT system brings the practice.
In my spare time I enjoy racing my Sprint 15 catamaran, I am a qualified dinghy instructor and run courses teaching local children to sail. I also enjoy off road motorcycling, skiing, hearing live music and socialising.

I qualified from Nottingham University in 2001. Having initially trained as an Orthopaedic Surgeon I worked for several years in this field before moving into General Practice.
I maintain an interest in Orthopaedics and more recently have become involved in Palliative Care work.
I moved to the Isle of Wight in 2010 to work at St Mary’s Hospital and in September 2013 I joined Shanklin Medical Centre as a GP.
The practice priorities of patient centred, high quality care and proactive innovation, reflect my principles and life here on the Island suits me and my young family very well.
When away from work I enjoy spending time both in the countryside and at seaside with my family, also DIY and surfing.

My family and I moved to the Island in March 2010. Having spent 15 yrs working in a London GP practice (10 yrs as a partner), we finally made the move – the draw of the Island had become too irresistible! I am really pleased to have joined the team as it has at its core the ethos of providing high quality care for patients – a belief that I share unreservedly. We have a great, hard working team at the practice.
In addition to working in the practice, I have also been appointed as a GP Appraiser on the Island. I enjoy all aspects of general practice and have a particular interest in womens health and mental health issues.
Outside of work, we have a daughter, a dog and two cats. Living on the Island is the ideal opportunity to take part in water based activities, which we enjoy, from sailing and paddling at the beach to just walking along the coast enjoying watching the world going by.

I graduated from the University of Southampton School of Medicine and then worked in Poole Hospital for two years before moving to New Zealand where I worked in hospital medicine for a further two years.  I returned to the UK and commenced emergency medicine training but eventually decided to train as a GP instead.  I completed my GP training on the Isle of Wight and started working at Sandown Health Centre in September 2018.  I am a GP partner of The Bay Medical Practice.  During medical school I met my wife who is originally from Sandown.  We were married on the island and have two children who keep us very busy.  In the limited free time I find these days I enjoy rowing and occasionally sailing a Dart 15 catamaran.

I qualified as a doctor in 1994 from the Royal Free Hospital School of medicine.  I worked along the south coast of England to gain broad GP orientated experiences, including a year in Anesthetics, ENT and A+E.
In 1997 I came to join my husband at his home on the Isle of Wight and further complete my GP training.
As a qualified  GP I have mainly worked in the UK but I  have also have had the chance  to travel extensively with Volvo ocean race and Americas cup teams, spending time living in Auckland, New Zealand as well as Spain.
I particularly enjoy minor ops, care of the elderly and look forward to extending skills in many areas as I work with the team in Shanklin.
Working with everyone at Shanklin Medical Centre I aim to continue provide high standards of clinical care along with great access to services.

I moved to island in August 2010 to join my husband who is an ENT consultant in St Mary’s Hospital. We have a 6 year old son.
I moved to England in 2001 and did my initial training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology for 2 years. I enjoyed working in different parts of UK such as Warwick, Sheffield and Scotland.
I did my vocational training in Merseyside and subsequently worked as a GP for 3 years there. I am interested in Family Planning, women’s health and child health care.
I was impressed by the innovate and inspiring team of Shanklin Medical centre who aim at providing high standards of care to the patients and are ready to face the challenges of the changing health care system.
The beauty and the peace of the island has immensely touched our lives and inspired us. I look forward to explore more of the island in the coming years. In my free time I enjoy nature and going on long walks. I love watching all forms of dance and take a special interest in Indian Classical Dance.In addition to working in the practice, I have also been appointed as a GP Appraiser on the Island. I enjoy all aspects of general practice and have a particular interest in womens health and mental health issues.
Outside of work, we have a daughter, a dog and two cats. Living on the Island is the ideal opportunity to take part in water based activities, which we enjoy, from sailing and paddling at the beach to just walking along the coast enjoying watching the world going by.

I’m very pleased to have joined the practice in April 2016 as a full time partner. I had previously completed my training and worked at Shanklin Medical Centre 2 years ago.
I qualified from St George’s University London in 2008. Since my qualification, I have moved to Isle of Wight for my first job at St Mary’s Hospital. I then continued my training from foundation doctor to GP registrar on the island. I have also worked at the Earl Mountbatten Hospice during my training years.
Having trained at Shanklin Medical Cente I found it very inspiring for my career as a doctor. The practice uses innovative and proactive methods to deliver outstanding level of care to improving patient outcomes.
I find the island an ideal place to raise my family with a mixture of tranquil seaside life and busy summer full of festivals and places to go for children. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my family in the garden, park and beaches and playing sports from badminton to basketball.

I graduated from St Bart’s and the Royal London School of Medicine with a distinction in Clinical Practice. I then worked as a Junior Doctor in Southend and East London. I went on to complete my GP training in Greenwich in Southeast London.  I moved the isle of Wight with my husband who grew up here; we have 2 children and enjoy many of the outdoor activities the Isle of Wight offers.  I am passionate about general practice and enjoy the variety of work.

My wife Elizabeth and I moved to the IOW from East Grinstead, West Sussex in 2006. We are dual citizens of the United Kingdom and the Republic of South Africa. We have no children. Leisure time is spent gardening, cycling, kayaking and travelling.
I did my pre-graduate medical as well as post graduate GP training in South Africa. With moving to the United Kingdom I also did post graduate UK based GP training. I have a healthy interest in all disciplines of medicine hence the decision to be a generalist i.e. General Practitioner. I think I would really get bored if I had to restrict myself to one speciality only, having to deal with the same type of pathology on a day in / day out basis. I offer the following special skills i.e. minor surgery (e.g. excision of skin lesions + “lumps and bumps”, nail removals, etc.), intra-articular + intra-lesional steroid injections as well as the insertion of sub-dermal implants and intra-uterine devices (coils) as well as ear microsuctioning.
My personal view of a General Practitioner’s role in current day society is that we are the managers of people’s health risks. In doing so, we are the gate keepers to secondary and tertiary health care. I believe that mutual respect / trust and above all good communication between GP and patient are essential ingredients to function at an optimal level and achieve good outcomes.
