She began her GP training straight after medical school, having studied psychology and sociology at A level, and taking a degree in medical humanities.

Put simply, a straight-forward diagnosis of a headache has a very powerful significance depending, for example, on whether the person has lost a relative with a brain cancer or is someone who is a full-time carer struggling with another person’s needs.” Dr Tooley has wide experience, including Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, family planning, care of the elderly, psychiatry and endocrinology. Her areas of surgical skill include gynaecology, urology, gastro-intestinal and breast surgery. A particular interest is medical acupuncture. |
