Dr L Watson
I am delighted to have started working in the Green Practice in April 2010, and am enjoying getting to know the friendly and helpful staff and patients. I studied medicine in Edinburgh, despite having grown up in Glasgow, and have really fallen for the city, but after university I worked in Glasgow and then in London. I completed a training rotation in Paediatrics, gaining membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, before starting my GP training. I returned to Edinburgh to complete my GP training, and I am pleased to be settled here in the Green Practice in the post of GP Retainer for the next few years. My special interests are children's health, contraception and dermatology. In my spare time I enjoy Pilates, travelling, and cinema. I also have a young son who keeps me busy.
