Who I am

Dr Thompson moved to Canada and Comox in April 2011

Arriving in Comox in 2011 with my wife, 2 boys, 2 dogs and 3 cats was a great day for all of the family. The opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle and friendly nature of Canada, and the Comox Valley in particular was too great an offer to pass up.  My wife works as a Psychotherapist specializing in Children and Adolescents.

Apart from enjoying a new way of working compared with the UK where I grew up and trained, the family enjoy skiing, being on the water and cycling.

The whole family will often be spotted on Mount Washington, taking in the magnificent views, and enjoying the frequent powder days!

In the summer months I try to catch fish, cycle and spend time on family trips!

Medical Leader

I believe physicians have more to give to the system of care  than the healthcare we deliver directly to our patients.

I am currently engaged in supporting and leading Family Practice in the Comox Valley through the COVID-19 pandemic. 

I am a Director on the Board of Doctors of BC and sit on Committees related to the work of Doctors of BC. More information here: Doctors of BC
