Meet the Team

Partners

The Practice is led by a partnership made up of five Partners, who together are responsible for the overall leadership, management, and long-term development of the practice.

The GP Partners provide clinical leadership and are responsible for maintaining high standards of patient care, clinical governance, and patient safety. They are closely involved in shaping clinical services, supporting staff, and ensuring the practice meets local and national healthcare standards.

The Business Partner is responsible for the operational and strategic management of the practice, including staffing, finance, premises, and service development, helping to ensure the practice runs efficiently and sustainably. The Partners are committed to providing a safe, stable, well-led, person-centred practice that continues to meet the needs of our patients and community.

Together, the Partners:

• Work with the wider NHS and local services to improve patient care
• Set the strategic direction of the practice
• Ensure safe, effective, and high-quality services
• Support staff development and wellbeing
• Oversee clinical governance and regulatory compliance

GPs

Our General Practitioners (GPs) are experienced doctors who provide comprehensive medical care for patients of all ages. They are responsible for diagnosing and managing a wide range of health conditions, offering advice, treatment, and ongoing support.

GPs work closely with our nursing, pharmacy, and wider healthcare teams to ensure patients receive coordinated, high quality care. They also play a key role in preventative health, long-term condition management, and supporting patients with complex or multiple health needs.

As a training practice, our GPs are also involved in supervising and mentoring GP Trainees, contributing to education, clinical leadership, and continuous improvement within the practice. Our GP team is committed to delivering safe, compassionate, and patient centred care.

Our GPs provide care including:

• Diagnosis and management of acute and long-term conditions
• Health assessments and medical advice
• Prescribing and medication management
• Referrals to hospital and community services
• Ongoing care for patients with complex health needs

GP Registrars (GP Trainees)

We are a GP training practice and are proud to support the education and development of future General Practitioners.

GP Registrars (also known as GP Trainees or GPSTs) are fully qualified doctors who are completing their specialist training in general practice. They work as part of our clinical team and provide consultations under the supervision of our experienced GPs.

GP Trainees see and treat patients independently, but always have access to senior clinical support and supervision to ensure safe, high-quality care. Their training includes regular teaching sessions, supervision meetings, and ongoing assessment.

Having GP Trainees in the practice helps us to:

• Support the next generation of GPs
• Maintain high clinical standards through teaching and reflection
• Bring up-to-date knowledge and best practice into patient care

You may be offered an appointment with a GP Trainee, and you can be assured that your care and confidentiality are treated with the same importance as with any other doctor at the practice.

Trauma Informed Yoga Therapist

These sessions are one a 121 basis with an experienced wellbeing coach and the programme runs once a week on a Thursday, for 6 weeks. Sessions are trauma informed therapy which helps to connect your mind and body. Trauma from our past is stored in the mind and body, which creates ‘dis-ease’: physical or mental issues/pain.

Some problems that Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy can help with include:

Low mood, anxiety, tension, stress, low self-esteem/shyness, (mild) PTSD, anger, sleep problems, self-harm, grief, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s).

It is important to note that Yoga is not a religion and is suitable for everyone and every type of body. No Yoga experience or any level of fitness is needed for these sessions.

Yoga is not simply an exercise routine, it has many aspects, including: movement, postures, breathing techniques, chanting/sound, Chakra assessment, Aryuvedic advice, mindfulness, creativity, guided meditation and relaxation, breath work and relaxation.
