Consultant Geriatrician

I have been a member of the Trainee and Members Committee while a registrar including being Vice Chair for representation in this group. Through this I have also been vice chair for the Scottish Academy Junior Doctors group. I also worked with the college for a year as a Scottish Clinical Leadership Fellow looking at recruitment and retention of trainees. Currently I am in the Recently Appointed Consultants committee and an active member of the college. 

I enjoy being involved in the role of the college both locally and internationally. The college can have a really positive effect on policy, training and public health that is not always well recognised.

I am a respiratory and general medicine physician with a specialist interest in pleural disease, advanced pleural procedures and point of care imaging. I am also developing a burgeoning interest in clinical research, particularly within pleural disease.

I am lucky enough to work with some excellent colleagues and have a firm belief that working collaboratively with other disciplines helps us innovate and better serve our patients. 

Consultant in Gastroenterology and General Medicine, St Johns Hospital, NHS Lothian

I am a consultant gastroenterologist in a district general hospital, with a specialist interest in inflammatory bowel disease, service development, cross site collaboration and medical leadership. I am co-lead for quality improvement within medicine, and as a senior trainee I undertook the Scottish Clinical Leadership Fellowship. 

I have been involved with the college for several years, having previously been a member of the Trainee and Members Committee. Being a member of the RAC has allowed me to continue to be involved in the important work it does, representing members, providing and supporting education at all levels of the profession, and working with other groups (locally, nationally and internationally) to benefit members.
