Katie has also gone on to gain an MSc in Dermatology at Cardiff University and counts skin and skin health as one of her areas of special interest. She holds a Diploma in Aesthetic Injectables and is registered with the JCCP.

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.
