DR ROB DANIELS

MA, MB BChir (Cambridge 1995) MSc, FRCGP, FRGS

I originally trained in Cambridge and did an intercalated degree in Natural Sciences before completing clinical training at Addenbrooke's Hospital. After working in the UK and Australia I ended up as a GP in East Devon where I have been for 20 years. As part of this role I work in urgent care and Ear, Nose and Throat medicine and have also worked in the past for Devon CCG on service redesign and Quality Improvement projects. I am the practice representative on the Axe valley primary care network. I have an academic interest in Communities of Practice and the development of multidisciplinary teams to deliver better care, both in the UK and abroad and teach several courses for health workers on developing countries online from Exeter and I am also a visiting lecturer at the University of Rwanda and a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Exeter. I am one of the GP trainers at the practice and have post graduate qualifications in obstetrics and gynaecology, family planning, ENT, hyperbaric medicine, prehospital emergency care and clinical education.

DR JON DOVE

MBBS, MRCGP

After working mainly in London and some early experience in the Shetland Islands, I am delighted to have been a GP partner in beautiful East Devon since 2015. I also provide urgent care for out of hours organisations when the surgery is closed. Previously, I worked on the Eastern Clinical Board of the North, East and West Devon Clinical Commissioning Group. For 5 years, I provided duty doctor care for the infamous Grizzly running challenge. Recently, I have been working with our local Primary Care Network to develop mental health services. Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family, improving my tennis serve and playing jazz piano. I also embrace the great outdoors whenever possible, enjoying sea swimming all year round, paddle-boarding and alpine skiing.

DR WILL ELIAS-JONES

BMBS, MRCS, DOHNS, MRCGP

Dr Elias-Jones is currently a GP partner at Townsend House medical centre, but prior to training in General practice, he was previously an Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor. He first trained on performing Microsuction while working in the ENT department in Derriford Hospital in Plymouth in 2009. He has since gone on to work as a senior house officer in ENT for 4 years, including working as a surgical trainee at the Royal Cornwall hospital in Truro and as a Trust Grade Doctor in ENT at the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital. While he was a surgical trainee, he passed his Membership exams for the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) in 2013 and also completed his Diploma in Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery (DOHNS) in the same year. Since completing his GP training, he has continued a role as a GP with special interest in ENT where he has regular ENT clinics including performing Microsuction.

DR DANI HARRIS

MBChB MRCGP

I started off in the Midlands and moved to Bristol to attend medical school. I moved further in to the South West to complete my GP training on the West Somerset Coast and have worked throughout the county. Now moving to Devon, by the coast, there’s not much further south I can go without acquiring a boat! Being completely converted to the South west coastline, countryside and lifestyle, in my spare time I try to be outside as much as possible; exploring. I enjoy travelling whether 3 months training and working in India, trekking in Nepal or failing to surf in Australia. I also enjoy photography and often combine the two with varying degrees of success!

DR KATE TAILBY

MBChB (Bristol 2015), MRCGP

I graduated from Bristol University in 2015 and have worked in and around Exeter ever since. It’s definitely true when they say ‘South West is best’. Outside of work, you will mostly find me exploring the South West coast path or the East Devon Way with my fur baby, Herbie. I also love doing yoga and fitness classes from the comfort of my lounge. I have also found a new love in cross-stitching whilst trying to keep myself occupied during lockdown!
