Dr Ashley McFarlane graduated from UCL Medical School in 2017 with his MBBS degree, with an intercalated BSc in Psychology.
Upon graduating, he successfully applied to the highly competitive London North West Foundation School and spent two years expanding his experience in different specialities at various hospitals across Central and West London.
Following this, he chose to pursue GP specialist training, securing a direct pathway to offer as a high scoring applicant in the Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment and being awarded his 1st choice: the Guy’s and St Thomas’ GP Training Programme.
After being redeployed for a year to provide support to acute medical services during the Covid-19 pandemic, he completed his GP Training Programme in 2022 and is now working as a fully qualified GP in the Central London area.
He has maintained a keen interest in mental health and is a strong proponent of the importance of promoting psychological and emotional wellbeing. He incorporates this into his clinical work, but also believes very strongly in instilling these principles in children and young people.
