Briony Hosford - Private Secretary
I was born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and spent my pre-adult years growing up in Zimbabwe and South Africa. I moved to the UK in 1998. I started my working career at West Dorset District Council as a Typist/Secretary. I left in 2010 and went to Dorset County Hospital as a Medical Secretary, where I worked in the Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Respiratory, Diabetes and Cardiology Departments.
I met Dr Varghese whilst I was working in the Dermatology Department.
I look forward to helping The Melbury Skin & Laser Clinic grow from strength to strength offering our patients a specialist skin clinic with the detection and treatment of skin cancer, acne and
other dermatological issues
