Doctors

Partners

  • Dr J J Kabler

    MBBS (1987) DGM MrCGP FPcert
    I qualified from Royal Free Hospital in London in 1986. I spent my training rotations in Jersey General Hospital. After completing my GP training I stayed on in Jersey for 1 year doing psychiatry at which point I came back to the UK and have been at the Chipping ever since!
    I do plenty of minor surgery and joint injections, occasionally acupuncture. I also have an interest in Skin problems and use a dermatoscope which enables you to see more details of a skin lesion than you can with the naked eye. This helps to decide what may be a skin cancer and what is benign. I am married to a very busy TV presenter and bestselling author Jackie, who currently works for QVC. Outside interests include Jumps racing, playing golf and tennis, cycling and above all cooking (closet masterchef!).

After house jobs in Torquay and Frenchay and a spell of infectious disease medicine at Ham Green Hospital in Bristol I did GP training in Bath and I became a partner at the surgery in 1996 but have lived in the area since 1987.
    I have a passion about good quality contraceptive advice and fit coils and implants. I am responsible for personnel at the surgery and regularly attend our patient participation meetings. I am also Lead GP for Safeguarding Children and learning disability. I am a clinical supervisor which involves mentoring our junior doctors in training as well as looking after the many medical students that we have.

Salaried GPs

    My husband & I moved from the Midlands to Gloucestershire in 2015 to enjoy the countryside. I have a young daughter who keeps me busy when I am not at work. As a family, we enjoy walking and going mountain biking in the lovely local countryside. During my “me time”, I enjoy furniture painting, going out for a jog and I have recently started playing netball again.

  • Dr Hannah Lunn

    MRCGP, MBChB, ,MA (Oxon)
    I qualified from the university of Birmingham in 2011 and worked in the West Midlands for my junior doctor years. I moved down to beautiful Gloucestershire for my GP training, qualifying as a GP in 2016. I joined the Chipping team in 2020. I love that no day in general practice is the same and feel privileged to support patients and their families with their health needs. My special interest is skin and doing minor operations. Some of my free time at the moment is being used up studying for a further qualification in Dermatology. I enjoy seeing all skin problems and use a skin magnifier gadget (a dermatoscope) to look more closely at lumps and bumps. I also enjoy public health and have a passion for good lifestyle advice and promoting physical and mental wellbeing.
    I am married and have 2 young children. I enjoy spending much of my spare time with my family and friends. We enjoy getting outdoors, and love going to the Lake District regularly for walking holidays. I am also a keen tennis player and play for my club and county (but I still need to work on my backhand volley!).
