The Partners

Dr Marion McNab
BSc MBChB DFFP MRCGP
I grew up in Birmingham and moved to Bristol to study medicine in 1987. I completed my GP training in Bath and fell in love with the city and have remained here ever since. My special interests are patients with learning difficulties and the sensory impaired and I also particularly enjoy child health. When not working at the surgery I am passionate about swimming and can be found ploughing up and down the university pool. I also love to walk my two dogs in the beautiful Bath countryside with my husband and 3 teenage children.
