Instructors / Speakers
Gill North,
GP, Sheffield

Gill is a GP in Sheffield in a four partner practice, in a socially deprived area of Sheffield. There are multiple registrars in the practice.

Gill is a trainer and a programme director so has a great input in the registrars journey. She is also an appraiser. All of Gill’s posts in education help her to have a better understanding of the learning needs of registrars.

Gill is the content author for e-GP session Physical Examinations/Examination of a 40-year-Old Woman complaining of a Neck Lump. Gill hopes this session will provide insight into the examination of the neck and thyroid gland.

Gill’s special interest clinically is palliative care and COPD and asthma.

Her non-clinical interests are the finance of the practice, and medical education.
