I am originally from the Brighton area but trained in London for my medical degree.
I moved up to Cumbria in 1998 to become a GP and joined the Wigton practice in 2005.
My special interests are contraception and sexual health and dermatology.
I am an active member of a church in Carlisle and love travelling to the far-flung corners of the globe.
I also cultivate cacti.
I hail from Kerala, the southern tip of India but have now been in the UK for the past 18 years.
My special interest is ophthalmology.

We are a semi-rural practice with a list size of approximately 8800 patients which has increased in recent years with new housing developments in the area.
Some community services are based with us in the new building.
There are an on-site pharmacy and a good sized car park.
We frequently have an extra doctor doing their 4 months Post Graduate GP post attached to the practice and we have medical students from time to time.
