Training Programme Director
Nicola Gill
I have 23-years experience of working as a GP and have worked as a GP Educator for the last 20 years. I have a particular passion for promoting compassionate care, and supporting doctors to survive and thrive at work. I co-facilitate the arts-based seminars ‘Maintaining the Art of General Practice’ and like to use the creative arts in my teaching. My website www.theartofmedicine.co.uk has many creative arts resources for learning, teaching and maintaining the art of medicine.

Clare McLure
I qualified from University of Cambridge in 1990 and completed my rheumatology specialist training in London before seeing the light and defecting to General Practice. I’m a Partner and trainer at Dalton Terrace Surgery in York and fit coils and Nexplanons, in addition to doing joint injections for patients. My particular passion though is teaching and I feel very privileged to have been able to teach medical students and trainees throughout my career. Outside of work I enjoy doing lots of exercise, cooking and gardening.

Training Programme Director
Paula Evans
Jack of all trades sums up my career to date: starting with GP training in East London to partnerships in central York and rural North Yorkshire via a portfolio of trainer, commissioning, practice management & PCN clinical director roles. Being of the same vintage as Nicola, Clare & Chris, I couldn’t resist wanting to join the York team, taking up the performance element. Though partial to the philosophical aspects of medicine, working on communication skills is my main educational interest. Those skills are constantly challenged by my four children. I’m a deconstructed very slow triathlete & would be yoga bunny.
