ABOUT US
Dr Francis Carnegy
BSc (Hons) MB ChB DTMH MRCGP (2013)
GMC 6134599
​
Dr Francis Carnegy graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2006, completing his GP training in the Scottish Borders in 2013. He has had a varied and exciting career both home and abroad.
​
This has ranged from being a solo GP on remote Scottish islands to 3 years working away in the spectacular Shuswap region of British Columbia. Prior to qualifying as a GP he also had further cardiology and emergency medicine experience working in New Zealand.
​
Alongside his NHS work he has previously worked as a private GP both in London and Edinburgh. In 2020 he finally settled in Devon with his family and works locally as a NHS GP Partner 4 days a week at Chillington Health Centre.
Passionate about people and medicine
Dr Carnegy has a longstanding interest and expertise in care of the elderly. This experience has come from over fifteen years of being a GP and previous hospital experience. Whilst working in British Columbia, he also helped establish and run a dedicated day hospital for complex elderly assessments.
​
Dr Carnegy is passionate about developing world and humanitarian medicine. He holds a Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Hygiene (DTMH) that has allowed him to work in far-flung places over the years including Vanuatu, Mozambique and Zambia. A real highlight was volunteering in the remote South Luangwa valley in Zambia in 2014. Working in a rural health clinic, he provided essential medical care to the local native population. Alongside this he provided private emergency care to visiting safari tourists which helped fund the clinic.
​
Whilst happily settled in Devon, he keeps his tropical medicine interest alive by volunteering for the Virtual Doctors, a charity providing remote clinical support to rural clinics in Zambia and Malawi. He is also an active member of UK-Med, an international humanitarian response charity, so may occasionally be called away at short notice for emergency deployments overseas.
