About Me
I’ve been a Non‑Clinical Partner in General Practice for nearly 14 years, having joined the NHS in 2010 after 23 years in senior leadership roles in food retail. I began in a single practice and later helped merge three partnerships to form a large organisation and single PCN in Bradford. My background outside healthcare gives me a fresh, transferable perspective on people, teams and organisational change. I’m passionate about supporting others and mentor through the government’s Help to Grow scheme, as well as developing my skills through the ILM5 qualification. Outside work, I enjoy cycling, walking in the Peaks, landscape photography, gardening and family life with my two grown‑up sons.

About Me
I’ve worked in General Practice for 30 years and remain convinced it’s the best place in the NHS. After qualifying I explored several healthcare roles, but Practice Nursing offered the variety, challenge and satisfaction that shaped my professional growth while discovering my true passion for helping others thrive. Mentoring through the nursing fellowship scheme allowed me the joy and privilege of supporting colleagues beginning their practice nursing journey. I’m pleased to continue this work with GPMplus, combining clinical expertise, teaching experience with ILM5 coaching and mentoring qualification. Outside work, I enjoy walking, playing the piano and family time.

About Me
I’m a GP with over a decade of NHS experience as a salaried doctor, locum, frailty GP and Macmillan GP. I’ve built a portfolio career spanning teaching, cancer care and lifestyle medicine, and I recently qualified as an Independent Funeral Celebrant. Personal loss shaped my interest in bereavement coaching, and I also support people living with chronic conditions. Through GPM+, I help individuals clarify what matters and move toward more fulfilling futures. As a mum of four and outdoor enthusiast, nature keeps me grounded and energised, and I’m always happy to hold coaching sessions outside when it feels right too.

About Me
I spent 29 years as a GP partner in Skipton before moving into a salaried role, and education has always been a real passion. As a GP trainer, TPD, F2 supervisor and medical student teacher, I loved supporting learners and found those roles deepened my own understanding of general practice. That naturally led me into coaching. Having benefited from informal mentoring myself, I know how powerful it can be, and I’ve since coached for Yorkshire & Humber HEE and mentored with GPMplus, supporting GPs, trainees, practice managers and allied professionals. Outside work, I enjoy walking, cycling, gardening and time with my dog.

I helped design the local GP Mentoring service and run part of the regional wellbeing and resilience programme for the LMC. Holding an ILM 5 qualification, I strongly believe everyone can find a role that matches their skills and values.

Outside work, I’m married to a GP, have two sons, and enjoy jazz piano and cycling.

About Me
I am a GP Partner in Bradford and t a certified Tiny Habits® Behaviour Change Coach and GP mentor. My interest in supporting colleagues grew from my own experience of burnout ten years ago, which led me to step away from partnership and learn the importance of prioritising personal wellbeing. This insight shapes the mentoring approach I bring to GPM+. Outside of work, I enjoy singing in a choir as well as spending time with my husband and three kids.

About Me
I have been a partner in a busy split site practice in East Leeds for 20+ years with no two the same. I love being a GP trainer but it is mentoring and coaching, both giving and receiving, that I have found truly transformative. I also run The Green Practice workshop for the GPMplus Healthy Practice programme and co chair the Leeds branch of Greener Practice. I have mentored for several years, including on the West Yorkshire new to practice fellowship, and hold the ILM coaching qualification. Outside medicine, you will find me in my unruly garden, listening to music or writing fiction.

About Me
I’ve been a GP Partner in East Yorkshire for 22 years, following a decade in hospital medicine. Alongside my clinical work, I’m a GP Appraiser, Mentor, GPMplus Facilitator and Clinical Tutor at Hull York Medical School. Leading a large single practice PCN team has shaped my interest in team dynamics, compassionate leadership, interpersonal relationships and reducing burnout, as well as supporting colleagues navigating retirement planning. I see mentoring as a shared journey—two people in a boat, with you steering toward clarity and confidence. I believe resilience comes from managing energy. I recharge through ultramarathons, triathlon, gardening and a little weekend baking.
