Dr Rachel Spencer

SAPC Role
Executive Committee Member, SAPC SIGs lead, Mentor

I am an academic GP and my research interest is in all aspects of patient safety in primary care. I was an academic GP trainee funded by the NIHR from 2011-2013 and worked with Professor Anthony Avery at the University of Nottingham. I completed my doctoral work with the same team between 2014 and 2018 funded by an NIHR career progression fellowship. I have worked as a part-time salaried GP in Coventry for the last 10 years. In 2018 I was the West Midlands CRN First 5 research champion promoting research in practice to young GPs across the region. In the first part of 2019 I undertook a sabbatical to New Zealand to work as a GP there. I'm now an Associate Clinical Professor in Warwick Applied Health - I'm usually on site at the medical school on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Tuesday and Friday I work as a GP at Engleton House practice in Coventry. If you are one of my NHS patients please do not use the above email to contact me. Instead please contact your general practice in the normal manner.
