Heather  qualified in 2001 as a doctor from Cardiff, and have since taken the scenic route to qualifying as a GP while having and looking after two children.  I have completed multiple specialities including accident and emergency medicine, psychiatry, rehabilitation medicine in a secondary care setting, and obstetrics and gynaecology.  All of these have been useful to prepare me for a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to managing complex elderly patients.
 
I have completed locums in both Redlands and Albert Rd surgeries, and continue to work in Albert Rd surgery on a Thursday afternoon, thus keeping my general practice skills up to date!
 
This is a challenging role, and I am excited about improving and maintaining the health of the nursing and residential home residents.  I will also enjoy the challenges of preventing avoidable secondary care admissions, and using a holistic multi-disciplinary approach to allow patients to stay in their own homes as long as they and their family wish.
