Dr Ann Cartmill

Bio:

I qualified in 1990 from St George’s Hospital Medical School in London and returned to Birmingham in 1991 to undertake my training in General Practice. 

I worked at Birmingham General Hospital (Accident and Emergency Medicine and Liaison Psychiatry), Birmingham Women’s Hospital (Obstetrics and Gynaecology), Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Neuropsychiatry), and Birmingham Children’s Hospital (General Paediatrics and Paediatric Surgery) and then in General Practice at Greenbank Surgery in Hall Green. As a fully qualified GP, I initially worked as Assistant Honorary University Physician at Aston University for 3 years before joining Sarehole Surgery, which in 2003, merged with 4 other local surgeries to form Hall Green Health. Whilst working as a GP, I gained further experience as a Clinical Assistant in Dermatology at Birmingham Children’s Hospital from 1995 to 2005.

I have been a GP trainer since 2004 and really enjoy developing the skills of the next generation of GPs. I am delighted that 8 of the doctors I was fortunate to mentor during their training, have chosen to join us and continue working at Hall Green Health. 
Being part of such a large, forward thinking practice, has given me the opportunity and support to continue to develop my own skills as a GP and enhance the care I am able to offer our patients. In addition to the usual services provided by a GP, I offer coil and implant fitting and have a particular interest in dermatology, sexual health and women’s health issues.

I have been Executive Partner at Hall Green Health (2009 to 2013) and have recently been appointed as Medical Director. I bring over 30 years of clinical experience to my new role within the practice and am committed to ensuring that we continue to strive to meet the health needs of our patients to the best of our abilities by placing our patients at the heart of everything we do. Although this role will necessarily reduce my clinical availability, I relish the opportunity to work with our dedicated, professional team and our Patient Participation Group to continue to improve and develop our services at Hall Green Health.
