Ellesmere Medical Practice > Ellesmere Patients' Group > Who Are We?

 

The members of the group
The Ellesmere Patients’ Group (EPG) was formed in 2004 so that patients’ representatives could meet with members of the Practice in order to learn from each other and discover ways in which, together, we could enable the Practice to use its talents and resources for the better care of its patients. We are always looking for new volunteers and aim to have as wide a cross-section of the Practice’s patients as possible.

The members of the group are:
 
Chair - Carolyn Newbold
Carolyn has lived in the Ellesmere area since 1973, and has been a patient with the Ellesmere Practice since then. She is now retired.

Vice-Chair - Jenny Wilbraham
Jenny came to Shropshire in 1982 where she taught at the Lakelands School for five years. She has lived in the Ellesmere area for most of that time and has been a patient of the practice for around twenty years. After retiring from teaching, she was clerk to a local Parish Council and an adviser for Citizens Advice for several years. She has served as the Lady Captain of a local golf club. She still maintains her links with education as a senior A–Level examiner.

Secretary - Kate Westgate
Kate has lived in the Ellesmere area and has been a patient with this Practice since 1982. She has worked in education and is now semi-retired.

Practice Manager - Ed Manning
