Hi, I’m Rachel and I’m the GP Marketing Lead for the ICB.

I live in Shrewsbury, and have been working as a GP for the last ten years, seven of those as a Partner. I’m passionate about education and I am a qualified GP trainer as well as having experience as education lead for medical students, foundation doctors and various non-medical prescribers. I’m now pursuing a portfolio career and I’m excited about facing the challenge of GP recruitment in Shropshire Telford and Wrekin. I’m happy to answer any questions or provide any support to those interested in becoming mentors/clinical supervisors to our young GPs of the future.
