Our doctors work in a partnership. Although you are registered with a named doctor, you may see any of the doctors in the practice.
Whenever possible, we will arrange an appointment with the Doctor of your choice. At times, it may not be possible to do this and you will be offered an appointment with one of the other Doctors.

I grew up in the Staffordshire Moorlands and completed my medical training at Keele University. Whilst a junior doctor I worked at the Royal Stoke University Hospital, then completed my GP training in Leek in Staffordshire. I began working for the practice in 2017 and completed a PhD in 2019 on arthritis and mood problems.
I work for the practice on a Monday and Tuesday, whilst the rest of my working week is split between extended access GP shifts in Leek and Biddulph, teaching, research work and GP curriculum development with the Royal College of GPs.
In my spare time, I enjoy painting, playing the violin and piano, watching wildlife and indulging my passion for cars and Ancient Greece.
