Yu Zhen Lau

Dr Yu Zhen Lau hails from Malaysia and is a Consultant General Practitioner who works both privately and in the NHS. She qualified from King’s College London in 2015 and attained her Certificate of Completion of Training in General Practice from the highly competitive Oxford Deanery in 2023. She has been accredited as a Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners since 2023. Prior to specialising in General Practice, Dr Lau underwent comprehensive training across various medical disciplines including Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), General Psychiatry, Medicine for Older People, Emergency Medicine (A&E), and Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G). Her GP training has further exposed her to Paediatrics, Cardiology, Trauma & Orthopaedics (T&O) and Stroke Medicine. Dr Lau’s extensive experience across both medical and surgical specialities gives her a unique ability to practise holistically. She has a special interest in ENT and is able to carry out microsuction, removal of foreign bodies and nasal cautery. Outside of her clinical work, she is a strong believer in medical education and is currently a tutor for Imperial College London Medical Students. Driven by her passion in maintaining a balance in health and wellbeing, which is reflective in her medical practice, she is currently working towards becoming a Personal Trainer and an Exercise Referral Specialist who supports patients with chronic physical conditions or illnesses in order to improve their health and well-being. Needless to say, you can find Dr Lau in the gym or enjoying Muay Thai during her free time.
