Aileen has built her medical practice as a doctor with an emphasis on health rather than just disease. She has worked as a GP, as a Specialty doctor at the NHS Centre for Integrative Care and at Bupa Health Assessment clinics. Alongside her clinical work she sits on tribunals for disability benefits to ensure that patients receive the help that they are entitled to. Her experience with working with patients with chronic diseases has led to an understanding and empathy towards those living with these conditions and the additional support that is required. In recent years she has also become involved in medical education with the hope of helping a new generation of doctors understand the changing healthcare needs of our society and how to strive for health amidst illness and disease. Aileen lives with her partner and 3 children. She is committed to continue learning how to take care of her own health needs while working in a demanding profession and balancing raising a family, understanding the demands and barriers for change that we all experience. She personally practises mindfulness and runs regularly to maintain her physical and mental wellbeing. She is a believer that you have to practise what you preach and often shares her own experiences and challenges with her patients to try and help improve self-compassion, acceptance and make change achievable where possible.
