• • Dr Raj Mapara – GP Partner MBBS (London 1983) DCH DRCOG MRCGP
    I was born in Uganda, East Africa and arrived in the UK as a refugee in 1972 following the expulsion of Asians from Uganda. Following secondary education in Harrow, I attended Middlesex Hospital Medical School in London and graduated with double distinction in 1983. Subsequently, I trained at Ealing Hospital in West London and passed my MRCGP exam with honours.I became a partner at Fernville Surgery in 1987. I have been a GP trainer since 1998 and have trained over thirty GP Registrars. I also appraise other GPs in the locality as a part of the re-validation process. My areas of clinical interest include cardiovascular medicine, diabetes and prescribing. I perform shoulder and knee injections. My hobbies include sport, mainly golf, cricket and badminton. I have two grown up children, one is a trainee surgeon and other is studying law. My wife works locally as a prescribing pharmacist.
  • Dr Meeta Duggal – GP Partner MBBS (London 2004) BSc (Hons) DRCOG nMRCGP
    I have been a partner at Fernville since 2015, having trained here as a registrar. I have grown up with the Fernville values. I graduated from Bart’s and The Royal London Medical school in 2004 and following a predominately paediatric career pathway, decided to generalise. I continue my interest in child health, by undertaking a role as a Named Children’s Safeguarding GP for Hertfordshire and West Essex, where I monitor practice policies to identify and prevent child abuse in its many forms, as well as investigate serious case reviews for learning. I have a degree in Nutrition which helps me advise my patients holistically. I am also a senior GP registrar trainer with involvement overseeing junior doctors and Cambridge Medical students. My partners and I continue to develop the practice and ensure that we optimise patients’ health care by prioritising risk groups, patients with chronic illnesses and those who need urgent attention. The continuity of care with our patient lists facilitates a knowledge of the person with the illness rather than just the illness they have.Originally from Birmingham, I now live in Rickmansworth. I’m a busy mum to two humans and some pet parrots. My husband is a local dentist in Hemel Hempstead too.

    I first walked through the doors of Fernville Surgery as an enthusiastic 15 year-old on work experience and I came away inspired. I went on to medical school at Imperial College London and subsequently worked in hospitals and GP surgeries around Oxfordshire and London.

My clinical interests include family planning, having completed the certification for contraceptive implants in 2014. I have a passion for improving cancer care and in Sept 2018 I took up role as a Macmillan GP. As a result, I devote one day per week to work with Macmillan and primary healthcare teams to make a recognisable improvement to cancer care across Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group. My role as a Macmillan GP spans the whole care pathway including work on early diagnosis as well as supporting people living with and beyond cancer. My time outside work is spent juggling motherhood and running a busy household. Spending time with family is of utmost importance to me.
