I sat my MRCGP in 2000 and became a job share partner in March of 2001. My other professional qualification is the Diploma of Child Health (DCH). My clinical interests include particularly the care of children and the elderly. When not at work I am busy with my young family at home. My interests include mountain biking and playing the saxophone."

I moved to the area in August 2000, and joined the practice as a partner in May 2001. I see patients with a full range of medical problems; my particular interests are palliative care and women's health. I am married to a classics teacher. In my spare time I enjoy walking, cooking and gardening."

Dr Sean Emmott (MB BS MRCGP)

"Born and raised in Addingham, I qualified from Nottingham Medical School in 1992 and then worked at Airedale, completing my general practice training there in 1996 (including a spell as a trainee at the Health Centre in 1994). I passed my MRCGP in 1996 and soon after became a partner in a general practice in Hull. I was very pleased to be given the opportunity to join the team in Cross Hills in April 2002. I enjoy the variety of problems general practice allows us to try and help with; my particular medical interests include medical education (I qualified as a trainer in 2003) and coronary heart disease. In my spare time I enjoy walking our Labrador and home computing. I am a lifelong Leeds United fan and have a season ticket at Elland Road, which can sometimes be enjoyable as well."
