 Dr Phillip Jennison (m)
Partner - MBChB (Leeds 1975)
Originally from East Yorkshire, I came to Huddersfield to work as junior hospital doctor at the Royal Infirmary and do training for General Practice, eventually coming to work as a trainee GP in this practice, which I joined full time in 1979.
I spent many years working as a GP Trainer and subsequently teaching undergraduates in the practice until pressures of time made this impossible. For the last 8 years I have worked as a Clinical Assistant in the local genito-urinary clinic for one session per week. This area of medicine remains of special interest to me. I feel privileged to live and work in this community and the wonderful countryside and enjoy working in my garden whenever time and weather allow. |

I enjoy living in the community where I work and am proud to be a generalist. In addition to being a full time partner with the practice I do one session a week for the “Out of Hours” service. Away from work we walk, sail and occasionally ski when not running the house and garden. |
