About Alexander Goodman
Personal Profile
Dr Goodman offers a private self-pay GP service at the Hampshire Clinic in Basingstoke. He is able to request investigations including blood tests and scans as well as refer onto specialist Consultants quickly at this excellent facility. As he has been a local NHS GP since 2017, he has a close working relationship with many of the Consultants.
Dr Goodman was born in Surrey, which is where he went to school. He qualified as a doctor in 2008 from King’s College London School of Medicine. During his studies he completed a BSc degree in Physiology, focusing on Maternal and Fetal Health. As a medical student, he undertook elective periods of study in Mental Health (Barbados) and Women’s Health (Uganda).
Following graduation, he worked in Kent and Sussex for 2 years as a Foundation Doctor on Surgical and Medical Hospital Wards and was awarded a certificate of Merit by the South Thames Foundation School. He then worked in Basingstoke and Portsmouth as a Women’s Health Hospital Doctor from 2010 until 2014. During this time, he presented at both International and National conferences as well as contributing to several publications (as listed below).
Thereafter, Dr Goodman decided to pursue a career in General Practice, largely due to the rewarding nature of the continuity of care that this field offers. His GP training included rotations in Community Mental Health and Integrated Elderly Care.
