Meet The Team

An introduction to Whiteacres Medical Centre and the people who help keep you healthy.

About Us.

 

Alongside the below Practice Staff, you may also meet members of Malvern Town Primary Care Network. We’re a group of four practices, working collaboratively to provide exceptional healthcare in Malvern. The team include Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Healthcare Assistants, Clinical Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Paramedics and Care Coordinators.

As part of Malvern Town Primary Care Network, some clinics operate as a Hub; meaning they take place at one location e.g. Prospect View, and you may therefore be invited to an appointment at this location, if appropriate.
