New doctor in Lochmaddy.

We want everyone to extend a warm welcome to Dr E Sesay. She has come to North Uist to do specialist training in General Practice after working in a variety of hospital posts in England and Africa.

She is an experienced doctor – originally trained in Sierra Leone, but living in the UK for many years.

It is great that Lochmaddy are training doctors again after a bit of a hiatus. I think that the unique environment here presents a great opportunity for doctors to extend their skills… but to do that we need your help.

When you next book an appointment you may be asked if it is okay to place you with the trainee. Although you may be worried about seeing a different doctor from usual I would urge you to take the opportunity. It is very helpful for Dr Sesay to see a variety of different presenting complaints – and it can also be useful as a patient to get the different perspective that a fresh face can bring to their problems.

As part of her training she is being closely supervised. Any feedback would be appreciated – either directly to her or to myself as her clinical supervisor.

Lochmaddy raft race.

The lochmaddy docs helped out at the local raft race this year – with myself on camera duties… and Dr keiller taking out the safety boat in case there were any accidents.

Great day had by all! Enjoy the video – if you want to watch it in high definition view it directly in you tube.
