Two Lanarkshire doctors have been awarded prestigious fellowships of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).
Dr Mike Coates, Clinical Director for the NHS Lanarkshire primary care out-of-hours service and Dr Kieran Dinwoodie, a local GP, received the highest level of membership as a mark of achievement, excellence and recognition for their contribution to general practice and to medicine more broadly.
Dr Coates, told Lanarkshire Live: “I have been a GP since 2004, obtaining my membership of the RCGP at that time. I developed special interests in the treatment of drug and alcohol dependency, custodial medicine, urgent and unscheduled care and caring for those with additional support needs.
