Professional Profile

Hi, I am Dr.Rahul, one of the Co-Founders of Your GP Circle-Take Control Of Your Health. I completed by medical training in 2005 (University of Birmingham) and then my GP training (Dudley) in 2010. Since 2010, I have been a GP partner in an NHS GP surgery with clinical and non-clinical responsibilities. I have a keen interested in diabetes, asthma and COPD management.

I am also an accredited GP trainer, which involves GP trainees/doctors working alongside me for one year at a time whilst I help them to hone and develop their clinical skills as well as patient-communication skills. In relation to this, between 2010 to 2015, I used to run regular full day training courses for GP trainees based around clinical and communication skills.

I always place a heavy emphasis on involving patients in their care and decisions about their care, so that they fully understand what is happening and have options. Through Your GP circle, our ultimate goal and mission is to give people control over their health, and offer them a personal and exceptional experience when they consult with our GPs. 

Personal Profile

I have spent most of my life in Birmingham, attending King Edwards School (Edgbaston) and then the University of Birmingham, and therefore this is home for me. Through the years, I have developed a wide network of close friends and colleagues.
My interests are cricket and rugby, and occasionally playing squash. Over the last one year, I have become addicted to audiobooks, which make my car journeys much more enjoyable and productive! I especially enjoy listening to books about self-development and other peoples life stories and impact they have made in various walks of life.
I am very much a people person and love meeting new people. I find it fascinating how we are all so diverse and skilled in different ways, and each have something that can help so many other  people.
I am married to Dr. Neha, who is also a co-founder of your GP circle. Together, we have beautiful, cheeky and boisterous twin girls!
