Sessional GP

Hi and welcome to the sessional GP page of the Kirklees LMC website. I have just taken on the role and will be learning a lot over the next few months. However it is already clear to me that the NHS and Primary Care are facing their biggest challenge ever as funding begins to bite. We all need to work together to ensure we have the time, resources and support we need to deliver a first class service.

I have been a GP for over thirty years and have worked as a partner, salaried GP and a locum so I have wide experience, both locally and across Yorkshire. I am currently working at Skelmanthorpe Family Doctors and as a locum in a wide area. I aim to keep you up to date on sessional GP issues by posting information here regularly and providing links to resources that may help. This will include a regular sessional GP newsletter from Zoe Norris , the national chair of the GPC subcomittee for sessional GPs, who is also a Yorkshire GP.

Please contact me if you have any issues and I will do my best to help.
