Extensive college experience, including numerous positions within RCGP Wales (including Chair), and the North Wales Faculty Board. Positions within RCGP UK Council over a number of years, and within a number of groups including patient practice, ethics and quality improvement.
I have enjoyed a portfolio career as a GP with jobs in occupational health, psychiatry, education, governance, board membership and public health.

#MakingChoicesTogether agreed. Important to explain how unhelpful inappropriate testing can be #ChoosingWiselyWales @1000LivesWales

give up. Does anyone realise that doing tests takes time (weeks to get a CXR reported) and seeing patients repeatedly until answer clear can be sign of close caring medicine ? I understand why GPs give up practice, closer to it everyday.. thanks @BBCr4today @BreastCancerNow
The short answer is no.
The sole purpose of PROMs should be to put patients in charge of real conversations about best care.
Fascinating this is now a hot topic in US- and how quickly it's become about power and money. https://t.co/2cmccVqmj6
