Whyburn Medical Practice

Tel: 0115 883 2150

We now have our new telephone system in operation! We were aware of the issues caused by the high volume of calls into the practice and the need to make a change to an updated system. We are pleased that one of the key benefits for our patients is the new call back option which saves a place in the queue without having to wait on the line. We will call our patients back when the held place reaches the top of the queue. Our patients can also directly select the option they may need and listen to relevant messages & information.

I am originally from Kashmir but did all of my training in UK. I love the mix of cases and patients that general practice offers but I have a special interest in dermatology. Driven by a deep commitment to teaching, I love to share knowledge and clinical experience with other healthcare professionals.

With a lifelong love for football, I understand the importance of physical activity in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I spend my spare time watching sports and exercising/running. I also like to watch movies, whenever I get time.

Dr Adegoke qualified in 2010 and holds a Masters degree in Public Health. She had spent her postgraduate years working in Public Health and Psychiatry before her GP training programme in Nottingham. She enjoyed doing rotations in Geriatric Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and A&E.

Outside of medicine, she loves gardening and cooking.
