Professional interests

Medical education is a central part of my professional work.

I am interested in helping healthcare professionals develop the knowledge, confidence and judgement required for safe, compassionate and patient-centred practice.

Areas of focus

• Clinical reasoning
• Managing uncertainty
• Consultation and communication skills
• Reflective practice
• Learner wellbeing
• Inclusive healthcare education
• Constructive feedback
• Workplace-based assessment
• Patient safety
• Supporting professional confidence
• Teaching sensitive and challenging consultations

I aim to create supportive learning environments in which learners can discuss uncertainty, identify development needs and reflect honestly on their clinical practice.

I have a strong interest in improving healthcare experiences and outcomes for LGBT+ people.

LGBT+ patients can encounter assumptions, barriers and inequalities when accessing healthcare. Inclusive practice requires more than appropriate terminology. It requires curiosity, respect, awareness and a willingness to understand the individual patient's circumstances.

Areas of focus

• Inclusive and affirming communication
• Creating psychologically safe consultations
• Understanding barriers to accessing healthcare
• Avoiding assumptions about identity, relationships and sexual behaviour
• LGBT+ mental health
• Sexual and reproductive healthcare
• Supporting clinicians to discuss identity sensitively
• Developing inclusive medical education
• Improving confidence in caring for diverse patient communities

I believe that inclusive healthcare should be embedded throughout clinical practice and medical education rather than treated as a separate or optional subject.

Mental health is a significant part of my work in general practice.

I have experience supporting patients with anxiety, depression, suicidality, self-harm, psychosocial crises and complex risk. I also regularly encounter the ways in which mental health is affected by physical illness, identity, social circumstances, relationships and access to support.

My approach is calm, compassionate and non-judgemental. I aim to understand the person's wider circumstances while assessing immediate risk, safeguarding concerns and the need for further support or escalation.

Areas of focus

• Anxiety and depression
• Suicide and self-harm risk
• Psychosocial distress
• LGBT+ mental health
• Mental health inequalities
• Sensitive and trauma-aware communication
• Safeguarding
• Shared decision-making
• Continuity of care
• Supporting clinicians with difficult conversations
• Mental health teaching and supervision
