Dr Conor McArdle

I am originally from Ireland, having moved to the UK for my medical training in 2004; and as often happens, found that 15 years later I had not left. I qualified as a doctor in 2011, working in Sussex, Liverpool and London. What I love most about my role is getting to know patients and their families, building relationships and helping to provide individualised care. I look forward to meeting you over the coming months and working with you to ensure that you have the best possible experience from your GP.

Karen has been working as a GP for some 20+ years in both health centre and school-based settings.  She is interested in all aspects of general practice, including minor surgical procedures for skin cancers, joint injections and gynaecological procedures, such as jadelle insertion.  Enjoying the proactive role of general practice, Karen works together with her patients offering a manageable, realistic approach to health and disease that provides the best outcome for that person.
