Karen Fitzpatrick

I had been working in a GP practice for 8 years before I joined Mr Shehata’s team last year. I am now finding concentrating on women’s health in particular, very rewarding.

I have been married for 20 years to husband Brendon and I have two children. My son, who is 19, is studying History and Politics at Sheffield University and my daughter, is 17 and studying for her A’levels.

I spend most of my free time cooking or gardening and also like to get out in the fresh air with my Weimaraner dog. He makes sure I get plenty of exercise. Now that my children are more independent we also like to go on holiday as much as we can and recently returned from a  skiing break in Sweden. I also like to spend as much time with my  family as possible and feel very fortunate indeed to have them.
