Our team

About our team

We have a range of hard-working people across our PCNs, both clinical and non-clinical. Led by our clinical directors, we share our knowledge and skills across all of our surgeries in order to improve what we can offer our patients. This allows us to offer services that we may not have been able to offer on an individual surgery level.
