I’ve had a wide experience in providing operational management within many different areas of healthcare services. I consider the prime purpose of my job, to ensure that we provide a supportive and professional environment to allow all our clinical staff to do the best job that they can for our patients.

I’m particularly keen on developing new ways of working to provide better access to quality services for our population, so I’m delighted to be working with the South Hampshire Primary Care Alliance at this exciting time of launching new services of care outside of normal GP practice hours.

I have supported the Extended Access project from the start and expanded into Out of Hours provision seeing how the pressure within primary care can be supported from all areas.  I want to make a positive difference to the patients, and to the members of the Alliance, my role centering on Information Governance, and HR.

GP Partner, Grange Surgery, Petersfield

I work at the Grange Surgery in Petersfield and have been practicing there since 2003. My clinical interests are in paediatrics and child health and I am the lead practitioner for mental health for our PCN.  I am also a GP trainer and enjoy assessment. I have been an examiner for the Royal College of General Practitioners for the past 14 years in the post-graduate GP exam.

I became interested in locality and cross-organisational working in the national “vanguard” projects a few years ago and was one of the three GP leads for Hampshire in the early work. This has led on to my involvement with the Southeast Hants primary care Alliance and I am proud to chair an organisation which has stood up so many important services during the covid pandemic and remains flexible to the needs of our practices and population.

GP Partner, Centre Practice, Fareham

I have been a GP Partner in Fareham since 2001 and have a keen interest in medical education. I have been a trainer since 2006 and locality group convenor. I trained initially in respiratory medicine and maintain an interest in General Practice as well as elderly care and cardiology.

I have been involved in all manifestations of the local unscheduled care system over the years as both a worker and managerially. After being elected to the South Hants Primary Care Alliance board a large part of my portfolio surrounds the ongoing management of the new Integrated Primary Care Access Service which patients often recognise as GP Extended Access. 

I’ve worked for SHPCA since August 2021 as a Shift Manager. I have 14 years of experience working within the NHS. My first role was when I joined QA Hospital as the Junior Doctors rota coordinator in 2009. After 5 years I decided to change direction and move to the A&E department.

I joined SHPCA in 2020 following a 20-year career in business management. Initially involved with the development of the COVID virtual ward.

I have over 12 years’ experience working in management roles within Primary Care and previously 20 years within the banking industry the last 10 of which as a Branch Manager. 

Formally a Professional Dancer for 10 years and traveling The World, the time came for me to get myself a ‘real’ job!  So, in 2000 I started working at NHSDirect.  

I joined SHPCA in June 2022. Originally from Portsmouth, I have just returned after spending the last 9 years living in Oxford and Reading. I have no previous public sector working experience.

I have been with SHPCA since December 2017 but have worked for the NHS since 2012.

Following a policing career of 18 years, for childcare reasons I chose the NHS path of a more local GP surgery where I worked on reception since 2019. I loved the patient interaction in particular, and the variety of no two days being the same!
