Dr Chikosolu Obidoa chose Lakeside Corby for his first Partnership as he wanted to work in a large practice with thousands of patients. He is keen to learn from colleagues and eventually wants to specialise and become a Lead GP in a clinical area.
He qualified three years ago and has been doing long-term locum work, but felt that this was the right time and place to put down roots.

'It sounds like a cliché but I love GP work and how different each day is. The patients are what makes it as if you don't like patient contact you will struggle. The best part of my job is when I see older people because they are so grateful, maybe because they have lived long enough to know what healthcare was like before the NHS. I wanted to come to Corby as I wanted to become part of a 'family' practice with a lot of patients and Lakeside is that. The bonus is that there is a research unit and it just felt like if you had to be a GP Partner anywhere this is the right place to be.'
