The TPDs work with KSS GP Deanery to:

Stefano Capozzi, TPD Mid Sussex
I qualified from Liverpool Medical School, following my foundation programme I pursued the sunny climes of Brighton and Mid Sussex Training Scheme. Education has always been a passion of mine, I intercalated in Leeds collecting a BSc in Medical Education and have been involved in teaching ever since. I work as a salaried GP in Hove, as well as enjoying out of hours and locum work. I have a passion for geriatrics, running 2 residential home ward rounds, as well as teaching consultation skills, leading on the workshops for international medical graduates across KSS. When I am not at work I enjoy running the university hospital Sussex football team, gardening, and an occasional low standard game of golf.
