I was born in North Yorkshire in England living some of the time in the town and eventually moved to the country living around beautiful farm areas. My training as a Dr (MBBS) and a GP (RCGP) was in England. When visiting my son who lives in Sydney we did a whistle stop tour of the ‘right side’ of Australia. While here we fell in love with Cairns and the beaches and the beautiful rainforest. This visit is what decided us to move here and within six months of returning to England we were back here again living and working here. I have completed the Australian (FRACGP).
In the GP area of work my interests are very varied, a bit of an all rounder. I have an interest in the area of skin care and skin cancer and surgery and I am expanding my work in that area
