Katie Adams
I have worked within the NHS for over 20 years and I have also experienced the process of health care from a patient's perspective due to my health.  I am interested in the progression of the surgery and how improvements and potential changes can be implemented with practice staff and the PPG. Like many, I depend greatly on the services that are provided from the practice, community nursing and the local hospitals. My aims are to ensure that my own involvement in the PPG will assist patients from a wider selection of the patient list to have a voice about the future of their General Practice.

John Ross
I have been a patient at the practice since 1981. As I have experience of a number of Health Service establishments. I am very interested in the future development of an efficient NHS having worked in both the private and public sectors I feel able to contribute to any discussions regarding the future NHS.
