He is a current accredited GP Trainer and currently also works seven clinical sessions a week at the Calvert & Newington Surgery in Hull, where he mentors and supervises a wide range of health professionals within a multi-disciplinary team. Mat qualified as a GP in 2018 and has spent his entire medical training within the ICS, coming through the undergraduate system at Hull York Medical School, graduating in 2012 and enjoying postgraduate rotations in York and Scarborough and completed his training on the Hull GP VTS. He undertook a Future Leaders’ Fellowship with Health Education England in 2016, which enabled him to develop further understanding of the wider Primary Care system and engaged his interest in workforce and training. During this time, he worked on a piece of work analysing the implementation of Paramedics within a GP practice, which later received the poster award at the RCGP annual conference in 2018. Mat has a keen interest in the study of health inequalities and underwent a Post CCT Fellowship in the first cohort of Trailblazer GP Fellows, which has helped shaped his understanding of the relationship between socioeconomic deprivation, health inequalities and health inequity and the role Primary Care can play in addressing these as part of the wider system. Mat also sits on the local RCGP Faculty board as First 5 Representative and Honorary Secretary, whilst he also planned and delivered the first Next Generation GP series in the Humber, Coast and Vale region, linking a cohort of newly qualified GPs with a series of engaging talks from local and national Primary Care leaders.
