Park Leys Medical Practice

Dr Andy Smithers trained at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London qualifying in 1984.

I always wanted to be a GP and after completing my 2 House-jobs in Aberdeen and Stratford on Avon I remained in Warwickshire to complete my General Practice vocational training at Warwick Hospital,the former Warnford Hospital in Leamington Spa and the Central Hospital at Hatton.

As a GP trainee at the Bertie Road Surgery in Kenilworth I received an excellent grounding in the Principles of General Practice and was introduced to the fascinating alternative practice of homoeopathy by one of the Doctors there.

I joined Park Leys Medical Practice in May 1989, and got married 2 months later.

I am still here and remain happily married, having 3 children and an assortment of animals at home, including doves, chickens, a Harris Hawk, ferrets and of course a dog!!

I have been an investigator taking part in Clinical Research Studies since 1991 and to date have participated in over 200 Clinical drug trials.

In General Practice I have a special interest in Psychiatry and Mental Health as well as Female Health, (the Menopause) and Male Health (erectile dysfunction).

When not working I am still restoring a 350 year old barn conversion and love fell-walking, cooking and listening to music, sometimes, all at the same time!!
