‘I have worked at the practice as a partner since 2012.  I graduated from Leeds University in 2001 and after post-graduate training in psychiatry, I moved into general practice.  I retain an interest in mental health both at a practice and wider systems level.  I also work as a GP trainer and have responsibilities for supervising and training junior doctors wanting to be GPs.’

Rachael Hunt

Practice Business Manager


 I have been working in Primary care  as Practice Manager since 2007. During this time i have worked in 2 practices  as a manager and helped a variety of other practices  with specific projects or challenges.  
 I completed a degree in professional development and Leadership while  working full time at Wallace House and being a full time working mum so i am no stranger to keeping busy and juggling priorities. 
 I am passionate about  my role and I am excited to look for new ways to bring value to Patients  as we face increasing pressures across the NHS.  I believe in working in partnership with patients and sharing responsibility for health outcomes.  The relocation of Wallace House and birth of Lea wharf medical  brings an incredible opportunity to build links with our community  and really imbed the services we offer.
