Dr Leah Jones
First 5
Hello! I’m Leah and I work as a salaried GP in Malvern, Worcestershire.
I trained at Leicester University, and after qualifying I completed my foundation training, followed by GP training in Worcestershire.
Since 2021, I have worked as a salaried GP in Malvern, which has been a great place to settle in as a “First 5” GP. Whilst our chosen career certainly has it’s challenges, I have always enjoyed being involved in groups and committees which aim to make positive changes. I am fortunate to be the “First 5” rep on the Local Medical Committee (LMC), and have valued being part of the local BMA division – both fantastic ways of networking and learning more about our profession.
I live with my husband, daughter, dog, cat and sheep (!) in South Worcestershire. I enjoy sport, going out for brunch and walking in the Malvern Hills.

Out of hours
I work part time for Practice Plus Group, the current provider of out-of-hours care in
Worcestershire. As such, I can represent the interests of OOH GP’s on the
committee, and provide an OOH perspective to discussions at meetings.
I attend ICB Contract Monitoring Board meetings as an LMC observer.
I am a GP partner at St Georges Surgery in Gloucestershire. I have 5 grown up children.
In my spare time, I enjoy Lindy-Hop, reading crime novels, swimming and attending rock music festivals in Wanda, my aged motorhome.
Dr Roy Williams

After a background training in General surgery, I became a GP Partner in 2008, based in Stourport on Severn in Worcestershire.
As Chair of the local GP association I led a merger of 6 practices in the Wyre Forest to form the Wyre Forest Health Partnership.
​
I am the Clinical Director for Wyre Forest Health Partnership PCN and part of the Clinical Director leadership team for Worcestershire.
I am also the Digital Clinical Lead for Primary Care and a member of the ICB Board.

Bewdley Medical Centre
Hello! I’m Hannah, a first-year GP trainee currently working in the paediatrics department at Worcester Royal Hospital.
I graduated from the University of Birmingham and completed my foundation training with Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust. After my foundation years, I pursued a clinical teaching fellowship, which deepened my passion for medical education—a passion I continue to nurture as I progress through my training.
Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors and am passionate about endurance sports. My partner and I love exploring new trails and challenging ourselves in nature. I'm also thrilled to be representing Great Britain in Duathlon in the summer of 2025.
