The Practice Team

Practice Manager

Mrs Freda Mather HNC Bus Man & Fin is our practice manager and she will be able to help you with any administrative or non-medical aspects of your health and treatment. We are very interested to know what you think about our services. If you have a suggestion for improvement, complaint or a view which you wish to express please advise the receptionist or ask to speak to Mrs Mather. Equally we would also like to hear from you if you consider any of our services are particularly good. This service is completely confidential, therefore you should feel free to express your views frankly.

The practice is also home to district nurses, health visitors and the Blackpool Primary Care Trust practice nurse team who provide a valuable bank service to local practices.

Practice Nurses

Our enthusiastic nursing team is led by Sister Roz Rowland. Her team offers a full range of nurse-led clinics including cardiovascular, hypertension, asthma, COPD, diabetes, women's health and weight reduction. These are attended via referral from GP only.

Salaried Doctors

We are well supported by salaried GPs Dr Katie Riding, Dr Siobhan Gleeson, Dr Aine Murphy, and Dr Owais Khan, who also attend sessions in other local practices.

Pharmacists

We are also supported by a pharmacist who advises on such areas as smoking cessation, medicine management, inhaler technique and blood pressure monitoring.
