I did my medical training at Glasgow University, graduating in 2001 with an MBChB.<\/p>

I gained some experience in  General Practice in my Junior year before spending quite a few years working in hospitals, initially rotating through various medical specialties before passing my membership exams for the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) and embarking on training in the field of Gastroenterology.<\/p>

As time went on, although I enjoyed my specialty, I missed being involved in the ongoing care of my patients and made a move to General Practice training in 2008<\/p>

I passed my Royal College of General Practitioners exam 2 years later (nMRCGP).<\/p>

In the interim, I spent a year working full time as medical officer in the local Addiction Service. Here I gained loads of experience in supporting people through difficult periods in their lives as became adept at helping people make changes in their lives to improve their wellbeing.<\/span>
<\/p>

I also gained lots of experience in dealing with chronic pain and complex medical problems.<\/span>
