Rachel Bramah

I am an Acute and General Internal Medicine registrar in the Southeast of Scotland. Prior to this, I worked in the West of Scotland for foundation and internal medicine training. Acute medicine training includes clinical attachments in other subspecialties including cardiology, respiratory medicine, medicine for the elderly and intensive care medicine. This gives me the opportunity to work with many different junior doctors and experience the specific challenges they face in the workplace.

Within medicine, I have an interest in simulation training. I currently design, facilitate and debrief medical simulation throughout Scotland. In my spare time I enjoy travelling with the aim of spending as much time in the sunshine as possible and sampling local cuisines.

Georgie Findlay

Hello, my name is Georgie. I’m an ST7 in anaesthetics, and I have been training within South East Scotland since 2017.  I’m originally from North Yorkshire, but left “God’s own county” to go to university in Edinburgh, followed by foundation years in London, after which I made my way back up north. I’m interested in neuroanaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, patient safety and medical education.

When I’m not at work, I spend a lot of time trying to encourage my westie, Morag, to behave. I love gardening, go to a painting class and enjoy sampling as many of Edinburgh’s cafes and restaurants as I have the budget for.

Nina Park

Hi, my name is Nina, and I’m an anaesthetic ST6 trainee. I studied in Exeter & Plymouth, worked in Birmingham and London before making a move to Edinburgh for my Anaesthetic training. I have family all around the world and previously lived in South Korea, US and the UK. I consider myself very lucky to have embraced multiple cultures in my life and I am always keen to learn more.

At work, I’m interested in perioperative medicine, changing systems and mentoring. Outside of work I’m into cooking, running, reading and photography.

Robyn Canham

Hello, my name is Robyn and I am a general adult psychiatry registrar- my ST5 year will be with the liaison psychiatry team at the RIE. I have worked in south east Scotland since graduating from the University of Edinburgh in 2018. I have been lucky enough to work with the MED team before, between core and higher training, as a medical education fellow and I am looking forward to the new challenge of working as a chief registrar for the coming year. Outside of work, I spilt my time between Edinburgh and the East Neuk of Fife and enjoy spending time outdoors whenever I can.

James Lucocq

Hi, I’m James and I’m an ST6 General Surgery registrar in South East Scotland with a subspecialty interest in breast surgery. I graduated from the University of Edinburgh and have stayed in the region for most of my training, developing an interest in both surgical education and research along the way, particularly collaborative studies and editorial work.

Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, travelling, and have recently started learning Swedish – slowly, but enthusiastically!

I’m really looking forward to working with colleagues across the region to support resident doctors, improve how our services run, and help make training the best it can be.

Callum Cairncross

I’m currently an ST6 in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology.  I studied at Edinburgh University and worked in Manchester and Glasgow, before returning to Edinburgh.  Due to working in clinical and laboratory medicine across the three main acute hospital sites I interact with colleagues in multiple environments and hope that I offer a different perspective on the challenges we face. I am interested in medical leadership and wellbeing and plan to use my time as chief registrar to improve resident doctors’ experiences at work in whatever way I can.

Outside of work I enjoy sampling Edinburgh’s many different bars and restaurants, watching rugby (or any sport, really), running and occasionally dabbling (badly) in the guitar.

Tim Collins

Hello, my name is Tim, and I'm excited to be joining the NHS Lothian team as a Fellow on the Scottish Clinical Leadership Programme. I studied medicine in Edinburgh, intercalating in Psychology and graduating in 2015, before moving to Glasgow, where I completed General Practice training in 2022. I now combine roles as a Specialty Doctor in Palliative Medicine and work in General Practice.

My working life has been rooted in communities affected by high levels of health inequalities – such as 'Deep End' practices – where I’ve developed a passion for improving equity of care through collaboration and education. I’ve contributed to developing practical, skills-based education as both the coordinator of a hospice MDT education programme and as a member of the West of Scotland Inclusion Health Interest Group. During my SCLF year, I hope to grow my capacity to lead and deliver projects on a broader scale.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my young family. I’m an avid reader and writer, currently working towards a Master’s in Creative Writing at the University of Glasgow. I’m particularly interested in the potential of Medical Humanities to support reflective practice and to help foster a shared sense of purpose and community in healthcare during challenging times.

Amy Sastry

Hi! My name is Amritha (Amy), and I am delighted to be one of the new Scottish Clinical Leadership Fellows for 2025–2026. I am currently based in Edinburgh, although I am a Senior Psychiatry trainee in the West of Scotland programme. Through my training, I have developed a strong foundation in mental health care and patient-centred treatment and look forward to integrating these skills into my new role, focusing on teamwork and collaboration to further improve healthcare services.

I graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 2018 with my medical degree and moved back to Glasgow (my hometown) to complete Foundation Training before starting Core Training in Psychiatry. I completed my MRCPsych examinations in 2022 and relocated to Edinburgh in 2023.

Having served as Chief Registrar for Psychiatry in Lanarkshire, I have developed my leadership skills and a deep commitment to supporting doctors in training. I am particularly passionate about medical education and trainee wellbeing, and I aim to lead and support initiatives that enhance training environments and promote professional development.

Outside of work, I enjoy music, TV and movies, working out, and spending quality time with my new puppy, friends, and family. I am also passionate about travelling, exploring new cultures, and trying different cuisines, which continually inspire me. I am committed to fostering a supportive and innovative healthcare environment and hope to contribute meaningfully to the development of medical education and service delivery.
