Meet the team

Dr Antonia Calogeras is a Consultant Rheumatologist at University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. As well as managing the Professional Support and Wellbeing Service (PSW), Antonia’s current Associate Dean portfolio also includes SuppoRTT.

Dr Rachel Elliot is a GP by background. She has sampled the full spectrum of GP posts, from trainee, salaried GP, Locum GP, retained GP, GP partner, flexible careers GP, Educational Supervisor, Training Programme Director, Patch Associate Dean and Head of School in Wessex, to Primary Care Dean for both Thames Valley and Wessex and Four Nations COGPED Vice chair. She returned to the role of GP Patch AD for Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight in December 2023 as a job share one day a week. This has enabled her to also take up a position as a case manager with Wessex PSW, as well as managing the Professional Support and Wellbeing Service (PSW).

In February 2024 she became the Wessex PSW TPD.

Rachel has post graduate qualifications in general practice, medical education, and business management. She has supported many GP trainees and wider workforce team members over her 30 year career.

Aside from these professional roles she is married with two children in their 20s and keeps chickens, which she does not need encouragement to tell you all about.

Wessex case managers are responsible for assessing doctors in postgraduate training who are referred to the Wessex PSW, by carrying out an objective assessment, based on available information and their own findings. Case managers support the doctor by helping them to identify what further action is required.

Please refer to the Meet the case managers page for a list of all the case managers who currently work within the Wessex PSW, along with information about them and their backgrounds.

The Wessex PSW Specialist Support Group (SSG) provide specialist support services to doctors in postgraduate training, following referral via a doctor’s case manager or the Support and Development Coordinator (following a request from the doctor’s educator).
