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. 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.

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).
