PCN Staff

I have been a GP locally for the last decade and actively involved in our PCN for the last 2.5 years.  I work three days a week as a GP partner and love the challenges and variety that come with the job. For me, being a GP is about building relationships with patients at all phases of life and through all aspects of health and wellbeing.  Within Meridian I provide supervision and support to our PCN clinical staff and help provide clinical input to our projects.

In addition to my role as Clinical Director for Meridian, I’m an HCA, and a member of a steering group for the Cambridge & Peterborough Training Hub. I also support the practice manager at Harston Surgery. For me, the PCN framework offers a chance to focus on working together as a group of similar practices, working more closely with other local health and care organisations, and increasing the number of non-GP and Nursing staff our patients have access to. The director role gives us a voice in our local ICS, and I use this to promote and protect General Practice.

I am the Business and Projects Manager for Meridian PCN with combined experience of working in the NHS and Primary Care for over 5 years. I oversee the day to day operational aspects of the PCN from resources management to coordination and optimisation, as well as working alongside the Digital Transformation Lead on managing projects. I thoroughly enjoy working in healthcare and my experience allows me to effectively navigate the complexity of managing our PCN

I am the Personalised Care Lead and I joined the Meridian Team in January 2022 after 14 years working in the health care sector. I have worked both clinically and in an administrative roll within a hospital setting

I really enjoy interacting with patients and it is my role to ensure that our patients are supported through personalised care helping them to improve their health and wellbeing.

As a Personalised Care Lead, I provide support and supervision for the Personalised Care Team.

I am the Digital & Transformation Lead for Meridian PCN, working with the team to offer the best service to our patients.  I am passionate about mental health and helping others, recently achieving a Masters Degree in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology.  I work closely with the practice managers, clinical leads and the neighbourhood to identify patient needs and improve our services across the PCN.  I enjoy being part of the Meridian PCN team and doing my bit to help improve things for our patients.        

I am working as the First contact Physiotherapist at four GP surgeries in the Meridian PCN.

After completing my Physiotherapy degree in 1995, I specialised in Musculo-skeletal outpatients. Consequently, I have wealth of experience assessing soft tissue injuries, arthritis, problems with muscles, tendons ligaments or bone and spinal pain.

I provide interventions at the beginning of the patient journey. I can provide a diagnosis, give advice and exercises or refer patients for treatment, investigations or to Specialist Services as necessary. I enjoy giving patients the tools to empower them to help manage their conditions

I have been qualified as a pharmacist for over a decade, working in community pharmacy before moving into my role as a Clinical Pharmacist for Meridian PCN in October 2021. Working within GP practices in Royston and Melbourn I mostly spend my time meeting with patients with long term conditions such as hypertension and diabetes to support them in managing their health through both medication reviews and other means so they can live their lives doing the things they enjoy.

Helen is a very experienced Prescribing Clinical Pharmacist who comes from a background of clinical pharmacy in hospital. As part of the general practice team, she is there to provide expert advice on medications to ensure you get the maximum benefit from them.

Helen performs medication and long-term condition reviews, where she assesses your test results and offers appropriate medication advice to check that you are taking the medicines in the correct way, that the dose is correct, that the medicine is not causing you any side effects, and that all your medicines work well together with no interactions to help manage your condition. 

I am one of the clinical pharmacists working for Meridian PCN based at Harston and Orchard surgeries. I have joined the team in January 2026 after a 28 year career in community pharmacy, most of which has been locally in Royston so it’s likely our paths may have crossed in the past. 

I enjoy talking to patients and giving them effective advice on how to manage their conditions and get the best out of their medications. I spend most of my time conducting medication reviews as well as dealing with queries from patients, pharmacies, GPs and our two in house dispensaries.

Although new to the role, I am enjoying being able to spend more quality time with individual patients and interacting positively to achieve our common goals of health and wellbeing. Every day is a learning experience and an opportunity to meet new people. 

I am a fully qualified, GPhC registered Pharmacy Technician and I have been working with Meridian PCN for over two years.

Previously, I have worked in the Pharmacy field for over fifteen years, and I have gained experience within various organisations from community pharmacy to General Practice.

I really enjoy my job in Primary Care and I am always striving to make a positive difference to patients lives with my skills and knowledge which I have attained throughout my working career.

I am a pharmacy technician working remotely for the PCN, 

I have experience working in various pharmacy sectors, which include online, community, hospital, and other sectors.

In addition, I am currently a member of the NHS England Regional Pharmacy Technician Leadership Group. 

I love my job as a pharmacy technician in primary care, I have been able to use various skills from my previous roles in my current one while gaining new ones. I have various duties from background work, such as audits to medication reviews. My role allows me to be able to care for patients directly and indirectly. I love how I can help our patients and my team in different ways within my role.
