Personal profile:

Outside of medicine most of my time is dedicated to my family. I also enjoy singing, playing guitar and writing music. On more energetic days you may catch me running around the Chiltern hills. As my family and I are due to relocate locally most of my free time has recently been taken up with house hunting.
