Catherine graduated from the University of Leeds medical school in 2007. She completed internal medicine training in London following a stint in Sydney doing emergency medicine

and travelling in South America and Asia. She then worked in HIV medicine for the charity Médecins sans Frontières in central Africa before returning to London and starting genito-

GP training, gaining membership of Royal College of General practice in 2023. Along the way she completed diplomas in tropical medicine, geniotro-urinary medicine, family planning,

and a masters in public health.

Catherine has interests in women’s health, public health, and positive psychology. She discovered this after doing a mindfulness course and is fascinated by the new science

around this and thriving.

She lives with her partner and daughter, and enjoys reading, hiking and cycling.
