Other roles include Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer for the University of Edinburgh Medical School, where she provides intensive teaching for final year medical students. She also sits on the South East Scotland RCGP Faculty Board and is the Education Lead for the Faculty.
In addition to her passion for working as a GP, Katie loves time away with the family, walks along the coast and time out with a good book.
If you’re keen to make an appointment with Dr Katie Cathrow, please be aware she is in clinic every other Thursday and Saturday, so advance booking is often required.
