I am the recently appointed chair for SW Thames and prior to this completed a term of office as regional secretary.
I am a Consultant Geriatrician working at Surrey & Sussex Healthcare NHS trust in community geriatrics. Having qualified from St Georges Hospital Medical school in 2000, I completed my training in geriatric medicine in the SW Thames deanery, during which time I also completed an MA in Medical Ethics and Law.
Areas of special interest include: Ortho-geriatrics/ falls, continence and community geriatrics, alongside maintaining an active involvement in training and medical education.
Outside of medicine (and being a busy mum of twins), I enjoy running, yoga and crochet.
