About us
Ashworth Street Surgery was formed in July 1999. There are
eight doctors who form the partnership: Dr's Steve Doyle, Dave Osborne, Shalini
Gadiyar, Mark Mudalige, Adam Simmons, Kevin Cody, Hassan Riaz and Jamie
Oldfield.
There are also a large
number of receptionists and administration staff who play a very important role
in the everyday running of the practice.
We are a large training Practice with 3 GP trainers. Training and supporting our attached learners is one of our core principles
Ashworth Street Surgery is committed to good medical care
with continuity. We offer a wide range of services.
The practice has seen an increasing list size since it was
formed and over time the surgery has developed a number of extensions at
Ashworth Street to accommodate both additional clinicians and their own
clinical consulting rooms. The most recent extension here at Ashworth Street
was completed in July 2010 when a further six consulting rooms (fifteen in all)
were developed on the first floor which also incorporates a lift to gain
access.
In 2010 we saw the completion of our branch surgery in
Norden. The surgery is based in what was the Norden Old Library on Edenfield
Road. From the feedback we have received from our patients, this has proved to
be a huge success.
