Women's Health GP

Qualifications: MRCGP (2017), MRCS (2011) MB BS, Bsc Hons (1st)

I graduated form Barts and the London medical school in 2007 as one of their first graduate entry doctors, having gained a Chemistry degree prior to studying medicine.
 
I have worked as a doctor in Cornwall ever since qualifying, (aside from a 10 month stint teaching medical students at the University of St Andrews). I completed my foundation training here and prior to my GP training I was a surgical trainee and continue to have an interest in Surgery and Orthopaedics. 
 
Currently I have 3 professional roles. With St Austell Healthcare I am a part time salaried GP with a developing interest in Womens Health.  I am involved with medical student training within the practice and as part of my role as a Professionalism development Tutor for Exeter University. I also work as an out of hour clinician for Kernow Health.
 
Outside of work I'm a busy Mum of two and thoroughly enjoy the lifestyle this wonderful part of the world offers!

Dr Fiona Hickey
Qualifications: MBChB (Sheffield 2009), MRCGP, DRCOG
I qualified ‘Up North’ in Sheffield in 2009 and I have had the great privilege of working as a Doctor ever since. Like many of my patients I moved down to Cornwall to be near the coast and to enjoy the wonderful outdoors. I briefly moved home to Nottingham to undertake Core Medical Training in 2011 but Cornwall pulled me back again and I suspect I am here to stay – especially in light of the fact I have married a Cornish sailor!
General Practice for me is challenging but extremely rewarding. I am fortunate to work within a friendly, highly skilled and supportive team. I am interested in all aspects of general practice especially women’s health and have obtained a Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Outside of work I am busy caring for my toddler and I am often to be found trying to entice her away from the beach.

I originally commenced my training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, developing a passion for women's health. I then transferred to General Practice training and have subsequently dedicated my career to improving the provision of women's health care and education in primary care.
