Welcome to The Gateacre Brow Practice

This practice has been providing medical services to the practice population since 1947, when Dr Saul Ellenbogen returned from overdeas military service and started his medical practice here in Gateacre.  He was later joined by his brother Wilfred who practiced with him from the Hunts Cross Avenue branch surgery until Wilfred's death in the early 1980's. 

Dr Margaret Reid and Dr Peter Reilly joined the practice within 6 months of each other in 1983 and Dr John Caldwell joined the practice in 1989. 

Dr Ellenbogen retired in 1991 at the age of 75 years and passed away in 1999. 

In 1992 the practice moved to it's current premises at Gateacre Brow and Dr Richard Wood joined the practice the same year.  Dr Wood left in 2002 and was replaced by Dr Joan Hardie.  Dr Andrea Daley is our newest Partner and joined the practice in December 2008. Dr Daley is currently on maternity leave and we have Dr Brendan McAuley working with us until the end of September 2012. He has been with us since 16th January and he has already become a very popular menber of our practice team.

The Practice fully endorses current policies for preventing discrimination on the grounds of race, gender, religion, colour or disability. The Practice seeks always to comply with current Health & Safety legislation.

We are a Training & Research Practice

We are approved for Training of new GPs and we are also a Research Practice (The North West England group of the National Institute for Health Research's, research in Primary Care programme)

Dr Samantha Shepperd was with the practice from 8th August 2011 until Friday 27th January and is a fully qualified Doctor, training as a G.P. Dr Shepperd was a great asset to the practice and will be missed.

Dr Victoria Hoyle joins the practice on Wednesday 1st February and should be with us until 31st August 2012.  We are sure she will be a great addition to our practice team and we look forward to working with her.
