IMPORTANT UPDATE (April 2026)
Please note that from 27th April 2026 I have decided to no longer offer ENG1 medical examinations.
I am grateful to all seafarers who I have met over the past 7 years for these assessments. For ongoing ENG1 certification needs, please refer to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) website for a list of approved doctors.

I am a GP based in St Thomas in Exeter. I have been an Approved Doctor for the MCA since 2019 and previously undertook ENG1 medicals at St Thomas.
I have a portfolio career which includes Medical Management Consultancy, as well as being Deputy Clinical Director and Clinical Supervisor for Exeter West Primary Care Network.
When not working I like spending time with my young family, gardening, travelling and running.
