FRCP MRCGP FFHom

(1955-)

David Reilly was born in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland on May 4, 1955.

David graduated MBChB with commendation from Glasgow University in 1978 and completed conventional training as a specialist in General Medicine as well as Family Practice Medicine.

He expanded his skills by exploring other approaches to healing, including homoeopathy, acupuncture and especially aspects of mind-body medicine. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, a Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners in the U.K., and a Fellow of the Faculty of Homoeopathy.

David Reilly is a doctor active in care, teaching, research and health care management. His main interest and skill is focusing on the creation of a therapeutic relationship and "therapeutic consultation", especially with people who are struggling with difficult and complicated health issues.

He explores blending the art and science of medicine, and bridges aspects of orthodox and unorthodox approaches. He sees his medicine as an art form, as much as his personal writing and music making.
