In this episode of Hang up your Super Hero Cape I have a conversation with a longstanding friend and GP colleague with a varied Portfolio career that maintains her interest and energy.
Melanie has over 20 years' experience as a doctor; initially specialising in sexual health, gynaecology and obstetrics before choosing a career in general practice. She currently works as a GP Partner in Telford. She has a keen interest in wellbeing- both emotional and physical.
Melanie has studied Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and is a certified practitioner as well as a TRIM (Trauma and resilience Management) practitioner. She has been a Mentor for many years, and currently co leads the local mentoring programme for GPs. Leadership and coaching are areas Melanie has been working on for the last few years. She has been working in GP education for over 15 years now and is leading on the educational programme for GPs locally. Melanie has been a GP trainer and is enjoying her role as a GP appraiser. Her other interests are Women’s health & Menopause and Aesthetics Medicine which is part of the physical well being holistic care she offers. Melanie is also currently a Co Clinical Director for South East Telford PCN . Melanie knows the pressures of working, and adapting to change especially with the demands of a busy family life. She has been doing a lot of work recently in managing GP resilience and is working with national resilience teams. She enjoys baking and craft work in her spare time. She lives locally with her husband and a houseful of boys! And she enjoys walking their dog in the Shropshire Hills.
