I am a local Chesterfield GP and have worked in the area for over 25 years. My roles include working as a GP partner at Inspire Health in Chesterfield as well as Clinical Director of Chesterfield and Dronfield Primary Care Network.

As a keen dancer in my spare time, I am also passionate about the multiple physical and mental health benefits of dance, for everyone, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to be involved in Dancing for Health.

My roles include helping shape health services in our local area, including people with learning difficulties and the frail and elderly, both in their own home and in care homes as well those who are impacted by health inequalities and heath conditions. Providing an opportunity for people, who traditionally may not have had access to the wonderful experience of dance, to enjoy the well proven benefits of dance is very exciting! In particular, the personalised, accessible, and adapted approach to dancing that helps participants enjoy the movements at their own level, is to be celebrated.
