Dr Sam Begin

“I believe good general practice is about combining clinical expertise with time, care and clear communication — so patients feel confident and supported in every decision.”

I have over 15 years’ experience as a doctor and am fully accredited to practise in both the United Kingdom and Australia. I am a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and currently hold a teaching position at Lincoln College, University of Oxford, where I am involved in medical education.

I am dual-trained in General Practice and Emergency Medicine, which has given me a broad range of clinical experience and strong procedural skills. I am happy to take blood samples myself and take particular care with children, patients with difficult veins, or those who feel anxious about having blood taken.

I have a special interest in the diagnosis and management of acute illness and injury, preventative health and longevity, men’s health, mental health, chronic disease management, end-of-life care, and travel medicine. I enjoy seeing patients of all ages. As well as seeing patients at Sloane Street Surgery, I can also see patients in Oxfordshire by special arrangement.

Outside of work, I am married to a paediatrician, and we have three young children. We enjoy international travel, a wide range of outdoor activities, farming, and cooking together as a family. I am also a licensed aircraft pilot.
