Business & Strategic Manager   
The Business Manager role here at Beccles focuses mainly on financial, strategy planning and regulatory aspects of running the practice. No two days are ever the same and it's a great job to have. We strive to forge ahead in the challenging times within the NHS and to deal with constant changes and demands we experience and the new ways of working that come with an evolutionary health service. In my spare time I enjoy renovating my home, growing our own produce to cook, motorcycling, walking and entertaining my grandchildren.

I started working as a part-time Receptionist at the Practice in April 1997 after bringing up my four children.  Over the next few years I broadened my knowledge of work in general practice by taking on some secretarial work before progressing into a Management role.  In 2008/2009 I undertook a Diploma in Primary Care Management and my current role within the Management Team encompasses various aspects of practice administration including HR for the whole practice, training, complaints and ensuring we have relevant protocols, policies and procedures in place to meet the exacting standards of the CQC [Care Quality Commission]. Out of work I enjoy sewing and handicrafts,
travelling and spending quality time with family and friends.
