After studying medicine at University College London, I then worked as a GP for all of my professional life up to retirement in 2020. I am married with four children, all of whom attended Wellingborough School. I love horse riding and tennis and play for the team at Northampton Lawn Tennis Club. It was in General Practice that I became exposed to the ever escalating problems of Safeguarding and observed how early intervention can greatly improve the outcome. I hope this experience will be invaluable in my role as Designated Safeguarding Governor.
