Nursing Team

Judith Pashley – Practice Nurse

I have many years of experience in practice nursing, qualifying in 1987. I am competent in diabetes and asthma management.  I have worked as a nurse educator for Cambridge and Peterborough training hub and work adhoc for the West Cambs Federation to cover the extended access service.

My interests are horse riding and competition, skiing, reading, theatre, cinema, knitting, cooking and gardening.  I am a member of the WI and also part of the Army Reserves.

Lisa Norris – Healthcare Assistant

I have enjoyed being a Health Care Assistant for many years, working within Cambridgeshire surgeries and also at Addenbrookes hospital.   I have two children who are all grown up so I am not needed at home so much.

I am currently training to become a nurse and started at Anglia Ruskin University in 2018 to gain my nursing degree.  I enjoy spending time with my husband, going shopping and eating out with friends.

Jigar Raval – Pharmacist

I have been pharmacist for over 10 years working in different roles within our NHS.

I have recently joined primary care network for Cambridge northern villages and I will be working at Swavesey surgery every Thursday morning in a capacity of prescribing pharmacist with high blood pressure as a specialist area of practice.

I am planning to work very closely with Dr Jain sharing his workload and using my expert knowledge in medication to improve value and outcomes from medicines, consult with, and treat patients directly.

This includes providing extra help to manage long-term conditions, advice for those on multiple medicines and better access to health checks.

I am a firm believer in patient-centred care and looking forward to talking to you all to make a difference in your quality of life.

Pekka Tuutti – Social Prescriber

A social prescriber aims to provide support for a wide range of issues which can affect wellbeing.  Many health conditions can be helped by changes to lifestyle.  I am able to spend time getting to know patients and support them to connect with services in the community which are most suited to their wellbeing.    I will be working closely with community groups, social services, local charities so I am aware of all that is on offer.
