Dr Morgan has been an NHS GP Partner in both England and Northern Ireland and is acutely aware of the health inequalities in South Down. He has also worked for over 10 years in acute and unscheduled care and is well placed to deliver an Out-of-Hours service responsive to modern needs.
Dr Morgan gained Membership of the Royal College of General Practice and the Diploma in Family Planning, Sexual and Reproductive Health from the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
