Sarah also runs the baby clinics. Liz runs the Asthma,  Diabetic and Smear Clinics.

Practice Pharmacists

Cathy Ryan IP

Julie Whitten IP

Our Practice Pharmacists work along side our doctors and will help will resolve medicine issues and queries by consulting with patients, pharmacies and hospitals directly. They are involved in the issue of repeat and acute medication, dealing with hospital discharges and out patient letters and reviewing patients medications.

Medical Students

We are a Queen's University Belfast Medical School Teaching Practice hosting medical students on placement. The curriculum and learning objectives for each stage in their undergraduate training ensures that by the end of medical school they have a broad understanding of the role of a GP and General Practice as a career option. They benefit hugely from speaking to patients, and many of our patients say how much they enjoy talking to medical students. 

As a patient you may be seen by a medical student under the supervision of a qualified Practice clinician. You can, of course, decline this option. Please do let our reception team know if you would prefer not to be seen by our student. 

These are our doctors of the future and as a practice we are proud to be a part of their journey.
