I am always learning. Although I wasn’t very good at art when I was at school, my children love art and have helped me appreciate it more. I like meeting new people, often not medics (!) so that I can learn more about the world, hear exciting and different ideas and build my network. I have done lots of random things in the past year or so, including appearing on a poster and in a promotional video for a book.

I am on the Midland RCGP Faculty Board as an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion representative.
I work in lots of different organisations, and I like to connect organisations together to work in new ways.

My Typical Day:
I don’t have a typical day as every day is different! I wake up and have breakfast and start the working day.
I have different jobs on different days of the week so it could be seeing patients, meetings or planning for lessons and events. At home we usually cook together and talk about our day.

Some days it’s online meetings from 9am to 5pm. It can be hard looking as a screen all day but the meetings are with different people sharing lots of ideas so the time goes quickly!
I am often involved in organising fun events for other doctors and colleagues. In the past I have organised cooking events, an origami (paper folding) event and events on skincare. I have also been involved in organising education events and I am working on a few events at the moment for different organisations that I work with!
