Professor Anthea Lints - Postgraduate Advisor

Formerly GP Director, South East Deanery, NHS Education Scotland

After graduating from the University of Edinburgh Medical School in 1975, I trained as a GP in Edinburgh. 

I then moved to the University of Western Ontario in Canada, where I completed a master’s degree in medical education.

In 1980,  I returned to the UK and shortly afterwards became a partner in a GP practice near Chelmsford in Essex.  During that time, I became involved in medical education and training and ultimately became Director of Postgraduate General Practice Education in London.
