Dr Mumtaz Abbas

Mumtaz brings a deep and genuine sense of care to her patients — the kind that does not switch off when the consultation ends. Her particular interest is in palliative care, which has shaped an approach to general practice that is attentive, unhurried, and grounded in what actually matters to the person she is with.

She welcomes patients across all life stages and backgrounds, and she takes follow-through seriously. She wants to know how you are doing after a difficult diagnosis or a new medication — not just to tick a box, but because she cares about the answer.

Mumtaz is naturally sociable and easy to talk to, and patients regularly describe feeling comfortable with her from the very first visit. She brings a holistic, patient-led philosophy to her work, taking into account not just physical symptoms but the wider context of each person's life.

Mumtaz is also the doctor on our team who performs contraceptive device insertions (IUDs and implants). If you are coming in to have a device fitted, removed, or replaced, you will see her.

Clinical approach.

• Palliative care and end-of-life support, for patients and their families
• Holistic, patient-centred family medicine
• Chronic disease management with a whole-person focus
• Diligent follow-up and safety-netting as standard practice
• Contraceptive device insertions — IUDs and implants. Dr Abbas is the only doctor at MyFamilyGP who performs these.
