Andrea Williamson graduated from University of Glasgow in 1995 and completed vocational training in general practice in Kintyre, Argyll, following hospital posts in Glasgow and South Africa. She was a HIgher Professional Fellow in General Practice from 2001 to 2004.

She is a GP and medical officer in addictions in the Homeless Health Service in Glasgow.

In her teaching role, she leads on the Year 4/5 undergraduate GP attachment and the undergraduate SSC (student selected components) programme for General Practice and Primary Care. She also contributes to "Social justice" course within the Master of Primary Care.

Her mixed methods doctoral thesis (2011) was about "revolving door" patients in general practice and provided some insights into problem doctor-patient relationships.

Andrea is interested in the health of marginalised groups and how general practice provides health care to populations and patients living in areas of high deprivation (both local and global).

She is a member of the steering group of GPs at the Deep End and the Health Inequalities Standing Group of the RCGP.
