Dr Jon Sanders

BSc MBChB MRCGP

Jon grew up in the UK and initially completed a degree in Biochemistry, before training at Warwick Medical School as a graduate. He then went on to work as a doctor in the West Midlands, near Birmingham. He decided to make the move to Christchurch with his partner after falling in love with New Zealand when he came here for his medical school elective 10 years ago.

He particularly enjoys working in general practice due to the continuity of care it allows, and believes that getting to know patients and their families over time allows for more effective and personalised care.

He’s a big sports fan (rugby in particular), but also enjoys music and the gym, as well as spending time exploring the incredible locations and scenery that New Zealand has to offer.
