Dr Ben Appleby

Hi, I’m Ben. I’m an editor here at SimpleMed and a GP Trainee. Whilst at medical school I got involved with SimpleMed as I was aware of the lack of free, quality medical notes on the internet. Whilst at university I also taught other medical students through multiple societies at Leicester Medical School including LUSUMA, LMSRS, Insight and Streetdoctors and have continued to teach after qualifying.

Alongside my interest in medical education I have also enjoyed clinical medicine especially paediatrics (the medicine of children) and general practice.
Outside of medicine I’m an avid drummer and have played in a number of different bands and ensembles including once for Sir David Attenborough! (However, it was a rather cold day and he only caught about 30 seconds of the set.) I’m also a keen squash player and record collector.
