Dr Justine Setchell qualified from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in 1990. Having completed her pre-registration training, she embarked on her general practice training over the following 3 years, covering trauma medicine, elderly medicine, psychiatry and obstetrics and gynaecology, during which period she studied for and obtained her DRCOG and MRCGP. She married Nick, now a consultant gynaecologist, in 1993.

She became a partner in a large practice in Twickenham in 1995, combining this with early motherhood, having her 2 children during this time. Whilst working at this practice she was the mentor for her practice nurse during her nurse practitioner training, completed extended coil training and gained experience in medical acupuncture, family planning, sexual health and preventative medicine.

After 8 years of partnership, Dr Setchell transferred to a University GP practice in Kingston which enabled her to work more around the children during their primary school years. At the same time, she started to develop an interest in Occupational Medicine, working for Dr Paul Simpkin in Upper Wimpole Street and gaining her Diploma in Occupational Medicine in 2007. She has been the Occupational Health Physician for John Lewis Oxford Street since 2008.

Since Sept 2010 Dr Setchell has run a successful private practice in the capital alongside Dr Payne.

Dr Setchell has always enjoyed life outside medicine and especially enjoys cooking, reading and theatre as well as pilates, running, swimming and cycling. She completed her first triathlon this summer.
