I would like to present myself as a
Family Doctor (General Practioner/Medecin Generaliste).
My name is Gunita Jolly. I was born in
New Delhi, India and moved to England when I was 2 years
old. I studied medicine at Guy’s Hospital, London.
I have a postgraduate diploma in
Obstetrics and Gynaecology (DRCOG) and also a masters in
General Practice medicine (MRCGP).

Following my degree, I worked
in London teaching
hospitals in Accident and Emergency medicine, Pediatrics,
Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Psychiatry and General Medicine.
Following my post graduate qualification, I
worked for 2 years as a partner in a busy GP surgery in
Blackheath, London. Here I had a personal list of around 2000
patients and worked with 3 other Doctors to provide a high
standard of primary care.

Since moving to France to join my
husband, I initially worked for 2 years at the British
Hospital in the surgical and medical wards to improve my
medical French.
After
learning the nuances of the French medical system and getting
to know all the staff at the British Hospital, I was
invited to start a practice for English speaking patients.
In 1998, I established my private consulting rooms within the
premises of the Hertford British Hospital of Paris. Here I have the advantage of
having immediate access to all the facilities of the
hospital, such as the Laboratory, Radiology, Obstetric and
Gynaecology treatment rooms, as well as specialists on site for
immediate advice and consultation.

I also work for the French office of a
large International medical
assistance company and so have experience of handling
hospitalizations and repatriations for patient who fall ill
whilst travelling.
This is a worldwide organization that
provides medical care for patients of every nationality when
they are away from home.
My medical French is now so proficient, that I
regularly teach groups of French Doctors courses in medical English,
run by the post graduate department of a large Paris medical
school.
