• Dr Dalton trained at St Thomas’s Hospital London and graduated from Cambridge University in 1993. He also has a Medical Management degree from City University, London. He took over the practice in 2000 from the retiring previous GP. He has slowly grown the practice and was instrumental in the recent move to the modern premises that we now operate from. His interests in medicine are wide ranging but he particularly specialises in Medical Training and mentoring/coaching. He also works for the Occupational Health Dept at local acute hospital trust. He strongly believes in patient autonomy and a holistic approach to care and this is reflected in the approach that the practice has taken.

Dr Mausumi Roy
MBChB DRCOG MRCGP DFFP

• We are fortunate to have joining us full time from October 2006 Dr Roy. She graduated from Aberdeen university in 1998 and trained to be a GP in various hospitals in the north of Scotland. After this she worked in the Fife area until the last year when she swapped to working locally at Ashton. While enjoying the wide variety of challenges presented by general practice, her particular interests lie in Diabetes, Women's health and Family Planning. Her consultation style is very much patient-centered and this is reflected in the excellent satisfaction results she received from our patients in a recent survey.

Dr Banavathi Suma

• Dr Suma is working for us until the end of October as a Locum to cover the absence during the transition from Dr Bax to Dr Roy. She is a very experienced doctor who until recently was working with another local Practice in Worsley Mesnes Health Centre. We feel she will enhance our team’s skills during this period of relative instability and also ensure that the standard of patient care and continuity of care is maintained to the best of our ability.

Dr Joydip Majumder

• Dr Majumder is our new GP Registrar from August 2006. However, having been working here in a part time role for the six months previously, he is already well known within the practice. Due to being in a training role he sometimes will be videoing so please be patient with Joy and we would ask if you can co-operate as much as possible with this as it does enhance his training and make him into a better GP at the end of the process.
