DR JOANNE KINGHORN
MBChb MRCGP DRSRH
I graduated from Sheffield Medical School in 2006 and completed GP training in Chesterfield in 2011. I joined Lime Grove Medical Centre in 2012 and have worked as a part time salaried GP here since. I completed the Diploma for the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health in 2014. I keep up to date with menopause and HRT guidance alongside the wide variety of conditions that we deal with in General practice. I find it satisfying to maintain a continuity of care with patients and to be able to help them through various health challenges during the different stages of life. Outside of work I enjoy running and spending time with my family.
