Chrissie has been a GP in Surrey since 2002. She qualified at CXWMS, now Imperial College, London in 1998, then completed a medical SHO rotation based at Kingston Hospital before moving to GP training in 2001.
After a brief stint as a locum, she joined a partnership in Woking where she stayed for 16 years. Whilst there she was the CQC Manager, QOF, Finance and HR lead. Latterly, she was also a locality lead and governing body GP at the CCG.
Since then, she has worked predominantly as a locum GP and completed some short-term salaried roles, including in a dispensing practice. In January 2022 she started as a Medical Director at Surrey & Sussex LMCs, which is now her main role, becoming Senior Medical Director in late 2024.
Alongside her GP roles she has had a portfolio of other roles. She worked as Clinical Lead for Cancer for the KSS Clinical Network and then the Surrey & Sussex Cancer Alliance alongside Surrey Heartlands CCG. She was partly funded by both Cancer Research UK and Macmillan in these roles. She is also a GP Appraiser and School Doctor at Guildford High School.
From 2018 to 2026 she was on BMA Council. She joined the BMA South East Coast Regional Council shortly after starting on BMA Council and was elected as its chair in 2019 for six years. She was initially elected to GPC via the ARM in September 2021 and has held the East & West Sussex seat since July 2022.
She lives in the Surrey Hills and loves walking her dog up Holmbury Hill when she is not being the “mum taxi” for her teenage children.
