Meet some of our experienced doctors

• 
  Dr. Chanele Blackwood

  I am a Lead GP at DCA. I enjoy working at DCA because I can work in the comfort of my own home, have no distractions or interruptions from other duties, and have more time to consult with each patient; meaning that I am able to really focus on each patient.
  
  As a Lead GP, I love that I can support other GPs in maintaining a great standard of care for our patients at DCA.

  Dr. Sherina Fernandes

  I qualified as a doctor in 2003 and as a GP in 2008 I first worked in digital health for a in 2015 which opened my eyes to the opportunities for both the medical profession and patients using digital health. I joined doctor care anywhere in 2018 following maternity leave. I have a lifestyle GP role in the NHS using group consultations to help people with chronic disease use diet and lifestyle to reduce or come off their medication.
  
  I love my role as a GP and clinical lead, Doctor Care Anywhere really looks after their GPs and I enjoy playing a part in this too as happier healthier doctors make happier healthier patients!

  Dr. Anindya Sanyal (Ronny)

  I have been working as a private virtual GP since I attained membership and regularly consult for my local NHS practice and in the out of hours setting. I have a special interest in dermatology. I have developed experience and knowledge though consulting with patients who have dermatological conditions on the DCA platform.
  
  The team at DCA is always positive and friendly. It’s easy to connect with each other and always help at hand should it be needed. I love being able to make a tangible difference to patient care using the DCA platform, its often rewarding to be able to come to a diagnosis virtually and save patient time & valuable NHS resources.

  Dr. Subali Nallamala

  I successfully completed the MRCGP in 2010. I worked as a NHS GP for 8 years before joining DCA in 2020. General Practice is a diverse and exciting career which involves managing diverse medical conditions and people of ages. I love the challenge of constantly updating my knowledge and having to know something about everything!
  
  The longer consultation times, timely access to advice from GP colleagues and specialists and wonderful feedback from patients makes DCA a safe, well supported, and enjoyable place to work.

  Dr. Mohd Suhaimi

  I am currently a salaried NHS GP and have been with DCA for nearly 2 years now. I joined DCA as I was looking to do more work at home rather than having a long commute to work. I enjoy working with DCA as it allows me to have more time with my family as my sessions don't over run and when I finish, I'm home already! DCA also has minimal paperwork i.e. no script signings or reviewing blood tests. During training, I covered paediatrics, psychiatry, A&E, gastroenterology, general surgery and orthopaedics. This gave me the experience and the confidence in dealing with these issues in my GP practice.

  Dr. Alwin Mascarenhas

  I truly enjoy working for DCA as it gives me flexibility to see patients remotely and at a time that fits me. DCA is a supportive organisation, responsive and innovative. I have developed an excellent working relationship with my DCA colleagues. I have more than 15 years of NHS experience and my special interest includes holistic care, urgent care and mental health. DCA allows me to use my skills and provide high quality care.

  Dr. Shaleen Narang

  I joined DCA over a year ago. I love working for DCA. It feels like a big family, all working to achieve the same goals. I was a salaried GP in London for almost six years and taught foundation trainees. I relocated during the pandemic and then started working for DCA alongside regular NHS locum work. I love the flexibility that DCA provides. I have found a healthy work, life balance and have found the confidence to become a GP with a variety of skills and interest.
  
  I am still able to provide continuity of care through the platform and the 20 minutes allows one to spend quality time with the patient. Patients present with such a broad variety of symptoms and problems. Seeing the patient satisfaction through their journey and their experience makes me feel like I am making a difference. A happy patient makes a happy doctor!

  It has been a real pleasure joining the DCA team who’s innovative and forward thinking ideas have created easily accessible, high quality care for patients.
