Dr Emma Potter

“General practice is a privilege—an opportunity to support people through every stage of life, to unravel diagnostic puzzles, and to learn something new every day. I find it deeply fulfilling to build lasting relationships with patients and to help guide them through both illness and health”.

I graduated in Physiology from the University of Bristol before qualifying with honours in Medicine from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ in 2006. I am a Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners and hold a diploma from the Faculty of Reproductive and Sexual Health.

My training and early career encompassed a broad range of specialties, including general medicine, accident and emergency (including paediatric A&E), care of the elderly, ENT, cancer care, ophthalmology, cardiology, and sexual health. I have also worked at the Havens Sexual Assault Centre.

Over the past 12 years, I have worked in private practice in Chelsea alongside roles within the NHS, including work with the Chelsea Pensioners and within the local community. I value the continuity, time and holistic approach that private practice allows, as well as the opportunity to work closely with leading specialists across London.

I enjoy all aspects of general practice, with particular interests in preventative health, complex elderly care, mental health, sexual health, and child and women’s health. I see a wide range of patients and take pride in supporting whole families — from newborns to grandparents — building long-term, trusted relationships. Alongside my clinical work, I have taught private antenatal classes and remain passionate about patient education and empowerment.

Outside of medicine, I am married with two school-aged children. I spend much of my free time in the Outer Hebrides, where I enjoy holidays with my family.
