Gabby Sampson
Summary
I am a young and vibrant specialist family physician with good leadership abilities and thrive when challenged. My training in family medicine equipped me not only with a range of clinical skill in various disciplines within medicine, but also clinical governance and management. I believe in life-long learning from all around me and that working smartly is equally as important as working hard.
