My name is Dr Anu Kapila.
I am your GP
I earned this privilege after 14 years of studying and training. I pledged to “dedicate my life to the service of humanity” when I recited the Declaration of Geneva (2017) with my colleagues.
The safety of my patients and colleagues remains my priority.
Today I will make over 200 clinical decisions (patient encounters, prescriptions, blood and scan results and hospital letters).
Every decision matters and deserves to have an appropriately allocated time slot…but there just isn’t enough time or resources.
Regardless, I will still strive to provide the best care for my patients.
I will then go home to my other full time job as a mother of two small children.
I AM ON YOUR SIDE.

My name is Dr Ellen Welch.
I am your GP.
I am one of those female, part time, working entirely remotely GPs you have probably read about in the Daily Mail. Shame on me.*
I very much miss the contact with both patients and colleagues. Image
But I can still help you this way. In fact-you may get a solution to your problems quicker than you did before the pandemic. I can still organise face to face appointments too.
It’s so disheartening that the message broadcast to the public is one of GPs being closed and lazy.
What should have been communicated is how GPs have been forced by the pandemic to work entirely differently-and this is unlikely to ‘go back to normal’ -possibly ever again- but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

I know when you are feeling unwell and scared navigating telephone lines, e-consults , queues and hospital waiting lists can feel daunting.
We will always try our best to be your advocate and help you get the help your require but you can help us too.
For minor illness - seek advice from you practice website or NHS.uk or talk to a local pharmacist.
When you contact the surgery, our reception team will ask you to help by sharing your concerns to help them direct you to see the best health professional for your needs; that could be a pharmacist, ANP, physio, paramedic practitioner, healthcare coach, social prescriber or a GP
