About Dr J Roscoe

My principal professional interests are medical education, LGBT+ healthcare and mental health. I am particularly interested in how inclusive communication, thoughtful clinical education and supportive professional environments can improve experiences for both patients and healthcare professionals.

As a clinician, I regularly support people with a broad range of mental health and psychosocial concerns. I aim to provide care that is compassionate, non-judgemental and sensitive to each patient's identity, circumstances and individual needs.

I am committed to inclusive healthcare for LGBT+ people and recognise the importance of creating clinical environments in which patients feel heard, respected and safe. My interests include inclusive consultation skills, reducing barriers to care and supporting clinicians to communicate confidently and sensitively about identity, relationships, sexuality and mental health.

Alongside my clinical work, I provide supervision and education for GP registrars, pharmacists, medical students and other learners. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Health Professions Education.

I work as a salaried General Practitioner in a large Leeds practice serving more than 45,000 patients.

I provide same-day and routine care across a broad range of clinical presentations. My work includes face-to-face, telephone and digital consultations, alongside clinical supervision and multidisciplinary decision-making.

Within general practice, my principal areas of interest are mental health, LGBT+ healthcare and the role of effective communication in helping patients feel safe, understood and involved in their care.

I regularly manage sensitive consultations involving:

• Mental health and emotional distress
• Suicide and self-harm risk
• Psychosocial crises
• Identity and relationships
• Sexual and reproductive health
• Safeguarding concerns
• Diagnostic uncertainty
• Complex personal and social circumstances

I aim to provide care that is safe, inclusive, respectful and grounded in shared decision-making.

My professional practice is grounded in:

• Compassionate and patient-centred care
• Inclusive and non-judgemental communication
• Respect for identity and individual experience
• Safe, evidence-based clinical practice
• Thoughtful clinical reasoning
• Recognition and management of risk
• Reflective practice
• Supportive clinical supervision
• Constructive feedback
• Continuous professional development

I believe that patients and learners benefit from environments in which they feel respected, able to speak openly and safe to ask questions.

I am fully registered with the General Medical Council with a licence to practise and remain up to date with appraisal and revalidation requirements.
