I am a locum General Practitioner based in Cardiff, happy to work in the Cardiff, Bridgend, Newport and Valleys areas.
I have recently completed my training in the Bridgend VTS, having worked in Eryl Surgery, a relatively small, rural practice and Oak Tree Surgery, a busy 17,000 patient suburban practice. I am used to balancing delivering personalised, empathic care with the demands of a busy rota.
I have a wide range of experience including emergency care (ATLS trained), dermatology (I have up to date minor surgical skills, including joint injection), paediatrics and psychiatry. I am developing a special interest in mental health care. I am an excellent communicator especially when dealing with children and their parents, and people with mental health or drug and alcohol problems. I am skilled at using brief psychological techniques to help people effectively manage their own health.
I have excellent IT skills and am fluent with VISION, EMIS LV, EMIS PCS and Ganymede patient record systems. I am QOF sensitive and will not ignore reminders! For longer term locums, I am keen to get involved in audit and medical education.
Many thanks for looking at my page and I look forward to hearing from you.
