Statement of Experience

• I qualified in 2003 and became a Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners in 2009. I was a partner at a large NHS teaching practice in Bournemouth from 2010 until 2023, where I shared responsibility with my partners for:

• the provision of Primary Medical Services for a population of around 25,000 people
• clinical governance and the meeting of quality and outcome framework targets
• teaching medical students from the University of Southampton School of Medicine.

• My areas of special interest within the practice were:

• provision of minor surgery
• musculoskeletal medicine including joint and per-articular injections
• fitting of sub-dermal contraceptive implants
• training GP registrars (I was an approved GP trainer).

• chaired a working group to develop best practice guidelines in the provision of joint and peri-articular injection therapy for Dorset,
• chaired the Dorset fractured neck of femur pathway group,
• sat on the working group to determine spinal pain care pathways for Dorset.
• sat on the Dorset CCG musculoskeletal clinical commissioning committee.

• I was a GP appraiser for 6 years, responsible for helping my appraisees meet the requirements for revalidation.
• I was an elected member of the Dorset Local Medical Committee, representing the interests of Bournemouth GPs. 
• Prior to becoming a GP I worked in Orthopaedics, Accident and Emergency Medicine, Anaesthetics, Intensive Care, Cardiology, Acute Medicine, General Surgery, Ear Nose and Throat, Palliative Medicine and Oncology.
• I am familiar with Part 35 of the civil procedure rules, and the requirements of solicitors when seeking expert evidence. I have undertaken appropriate expert witness training. My expert witness workload includes both Claimant and Defendant work, although Claimant work predominates. I also undertake work for the GMC in professional regulation cases.
