Dr Rashid Bani

I graduated from Guy's & St. Thomas' Hospitals Medical School, London, in 1997. After spending three years in hospital medicine, I completed my general practice vocational training and began life as a GP in 2002. Having gained vast experience in both rural and urban NHS practices providing a full range of general practice services, I began work as a private GP in 2010. This provided the opportunity to develop new areas of work such as health screening and medical examinations for a variety of client requirements.

I obtained further Occupational Health qualifications and work part time as Student Occupational Health Physician at the University of Manchester, supporting students with medical problems through their courses. I have been involved in undergraduate medical student teaching.

I believe in the importance of establishing a trusting relationship with patients, putting them at ease when discussing concerns about their health and involving them in their management plan. I offer the highest quality, evidence based medicine, which is patient focused and unhurried.

I feel General Practice should be individually focused on the needs of the patient and not constrained by unavailability of appointments. There should be ease of access with the
opportunity to develop a continuing relationship with one doctor. My primary goal is to practice medicine that allows the patient time to get their concerns across, and leave the
consultation feeling that they have been listened to and their health needs met.
