About The Practice

Dr Glyn Stockton - MBChB MRCGP

After studying to become an Orthopaedic surgeon I had a change of career and decided that General Practice was for me! I worked in various GP practices in the Manchester area and was then, along with Dr Thompson, given the opportunity to take over an existing practice in Middleton, which we then re-located to the Boarshaw area. As a partner I am tasked with ensuring that the practice is providing a high standard of care to the population we serve both clinically and professionally. I have a keen interest in Minor Surgery and Orthopaedics and am able to perform various procedures to ensure our patients can be given the choice of being seen at the surgery rather than at the hospital for their procedures.

Dr Louise Thompson - MBChB MRCGP DRCOG

I qualified as a GP in 2002 and worked in various GP practices before getting the opportunity to take over the practice with Dr Stockton, which we then relocated to the Boarshaw area in December 2008. As a partner I am responsible for ensuring that the practice achieves high standards in clinical care and maintains a high level of professional service at all times.

I love being a G.P. as I find all areas of medicine interesting but have a particular interest in obesity and weight management.

Dr Danielle Peet - MBBS DRCOG DFSRH MRCGP

I’m a Stockport girl who had the pleasure of going to medical school in Newcastle upon Tyne. I qualified in 2010 and I started work as a medical journalist in 2007. I have been Deputy Editor for the Royal College Of General Practitioners Journal ‘innovAit’ for GP trainees which helps me keep up to date.

I enjoy being a generalist and seeing patients as a whole person instead of a list of conditions and so remain interested in everything and anything. However, as well as Dr Thompson, I enjoy helping with issues relating to women’s health and am the children’s lead for the clinical commissioning group.

If you ever see someone messing around in the surgery garden, it is not a live gnome but me indulging in one of my many hobbies.

Nurse Colette Cheshire-Beeson - Practice Nurse

I qualified as a nurse in 1987 and subsequently started my career and then went on to gain experience in 5 different Accident & Emergency Departments around the country, spanning over 17 years.

In 2004 I wanted a career change. I wanted a job where every day was different, had a variety of illnesses/problems, seeing people from all walks of life and from the young to the old. Practice Nursing gave me this experience.

I enjoy the variety of the post and have an interest in diabetes and heart disease and hold a certificate and diploma in both fields. However I am as equally keen on providing education and advice in the prevention and management of chronic diseases and in other health subjects.

In my spare time I enjoy family life with my husband who has been a Paramedic for 31 years and my 2 sons.

Gemma Roberts - Healthcare Assistant (f)

I joined the practice in 2009 and have worked within healthcare for around 4 years before, initially in health records at Fairfield Hospital and then as a Trainee Health Care Assistant on the Maternity ward at North Manchester General Hospital. I have completed training to become a Health Care Assistant and offer appointments for blood tests and blood pressure checks along with our Practice Nurse. I am also a member of our support team  and the Carer’s Advocate for the practice where I am responsible for increased awareness of carer’s and the support that they require. I feel that our patients deserve a friendly and approachable support team and we make every effort to ensure our patients are helped in any way possible and the smooth running of the practice is upheld. Outside of work I am kept busy trying to keep up with my four children. In my spare time I enjoy socializing with friends, relaxing with family and exercising, when I get the chance!

Leanne Read - Health Care Assistant

I am currently working at the practice as both a support team member and a health care assistant. I enjoy both aspect of my role. I have a special interest in minor surgery, I am the administrative lead for the minor surgery procedures. I coordinate appointments, i have also completed procedure assistance training which allows me to assist the patient and doctor during the procedure.

Emilie Tomkins - Health Care Assistant

I am currently in a dual role at the practice as both Health Care Assistant and Support Team member. Within my role as Health Care Assistance I am able to carryout a blood test, blood pressure and much more. I enjoy the interaction with the patient during my clinics

Victoria Buckland-Fellows - Practice Manager

I have been working at the practice since it opened in December 2008 following 15 months of previous GP reception positions and before that a background in jewellery retail and making for which I hold a diploma in. Over the course of my employment at the practice I have had the opportunity to progress from receptionist, then to Reception Supervisor and now to the Practice Manager. Along with the years of experience gained, I have also completed a number of qualifications including ILM Level 5 Management. My role is varied and no day is ever the same but this is what I love about the job.

I enjoy horse riding and sailing although have little time for both with a young family to look after!

Pete Thompson - Finance Manager

I worked in the Accounts department at Macclesfield Borough Council for eight years, during which I completed my AAT accounting qualification at the local college. I also ran the Lease Car scheme for the council, catering for over 100 members of staff and their vehicles. I then took a hiatus from Finance to pursue a teaching career; this was rewarding if extremely challenging and when the opportunity came about to work at the Practice and return to working in finance I was delighted to take up the role, especially I as get to combine my Accounts work with working with the general public in a customer facing role.

Away from work I love all sports – both watching and participating – but particularly football, rugby and boxing. I also love the theatre – again both watching and participating – and have acted in 17 plays and recently directed my first. Finally, I enjoy keeping fit (trying to get fit may be more accurate!) at the gym when I get the chance.

Jackie Tomkins - Support Team Supervisor

I have been with the surgery now since 2016. I have now progressed and am now the Support Team Supervisor of which I am very proud. I have never worked in a GP surgery before and found it quite challenging at first, but I now really enjoy my job. I come from a previous NHS role at the Child Health Department in Oldham, and before that Learning Disabilities in Rochdale. In my spare time I like looking after my animals which include dogs, cats, rabbits, hamster and goldfish.

Louise Aylmer

I have worked at Dr Stockton and Thompsons surgery since 2015; we have built a great team and value our relationships both professionally and personally. Like any public service we are challenged on a daily basis but always try our best to be friendly and helpful.

I previously worked within the education sector for many years and whilst working at Dr Stockton and Thompson’s as Supervisor I qualified as a Person Centered Counsellor.

I am part of a running group and enjoy family time, holidays and socialising.

I also like to keep fit and to socialise.

My role is as a Support Team member and super fast typist! I will also soon be qualifying as a phlebotomist so can take patients bloods and blood pressure, and also assist Dr Stockton with his Minor Surgery clinics I have previous experience in health and social care and animal managment. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my dogs and family.

Debra Jones

I joined the practice in July 2017 as a member of the Admin/ Support Team staff after working for a large public sector organisation for over 35 years. I have prior experience working with the public – be it via telephone or face to face – dealing with a range of different enquiries and situations, which have helped me settle into my new role within the practice. When not in work I keep active by swimming, attending gym class and walking. With regards to the latter, I was very proud to complete the 3 peaks challenge in Yorkshire in September 2017.

Siobhan McArthur

My name is Siobhan, and I joined the team in 2017. After taking time out to raise three children, I made the leap and returned to work, joining this fantastic family run GP’s practice.

I now call Manchester my home after being here since attending Manchester Metropolitan University in 2001. However you can recognise my voice when calling the surgery with me being the only ‘Brummie’ in the building.

My free time is spent making weddings as a freelance florist, but mostly you can find me running around after the kids!
