GP Registrars

• DR RAMY MANSOUR

  Male

  I began my medical journey with core medical training with special interest in acute medicine and nephrology for over 8 years. What ultimately drew me to general practice was the opportunity to work closely with patients across all stages of life, building relationships and offering holistic, person-centred care. Outside of work, I’m passionate about staying active and embracing a challenge — I enjoy traveling, open water swimming, hitting the gym, and competing in HYROX, running events, and triathlons.

• DR ROSANNE MONTEIRO

  Female

  Before starting my medical training, I studied Psychology for four years at Trinity College Dublin. After graduating, I spent time volunteering with a young people’s mental health organisation. I chose General Practice because I loved the variety of medicine, but also because it gives you the chance to get to know your patients and GP medicine felt more about treating people holistically, which is something I really value. Outside of work, I love being in or near the water. I'm an enthusiastic (but not very skilled!) surfer, a year-round sea swimmer, and I also enjoy tennis and playing the guitar.

Foundation Doctor

• DR MADELEINE DALE

  Female

  I studied medicine at the University of Oxford before returning to south Devon, where I grew up. Since qualifying, I have worked in respiratory medicine, neurosurgery, and ENT, gaining experience in managing both urgent and complex cases. I am really looking forward to seeing a wide range of patients in general practice and working holistically with people of all ages and their families. Outside of work, I am a keen pianist and I enjoy exploring Dartmoor and the beautiful south Devon coast whenever I can.
