Katharine joined the practice in February 2001. Katharine has been a GP here since 2001. Before that she worked in medicine for the elderly. She has a special interest in Gynaecology and contraception, trains GPs and students and is Vice Chair of the Royal College of GPs Over-diagnosis group and Chair of the Optimal testing group. She is especially interested in lifestyle medicine and how the way we live can have a big impact on improving our health. Outside the surgery she goes running to counteract the effects of sitting on a chair all day at work, tries to keep her allotment under control & is learning to play the cello. Between times she is chief swarm catcher for her husband’s bees when they escape!
