Nursing Team

Jan Rix (f)
Practice Nurse (including respiratory – asthma and COPD)

I trained at Bart’s in London, qualifying in 1977. I started working as a Practice nurse in 1986, and have been at Swavesey Surgery since 2014. The clinical areas I’m particularly interested are respiratory and cardiovascular disease, wound care, patient education and emotional support.

I live in Over, I’ve five children and three grandchildren spread around the UK. I enjoy gardening, music and a variety of arts and crafts. I speak fluent French and a smattering of Italian.

Cyndi Kemp (f)
Practice Nurse (respiratory and diabetes)

After qualifying as a nurse in 2009, my career started in Women’s Health at Addenbrooke’s Hospital before moving to the community as a District Nurse in 2012.

For the last 10 years I have been a Practice Nurse firstly working in a Cambridge City Centre Surgery and now I am delighted to have joined the team at Swavesey Surgery.

I love the personal connections that come with being a Practice Nurse. I find this role incredibly rewarding especially in helping our local community stay healthy and well.

When I am not nursing, I am at my happiest when spending quality time with my lovely family and friends or planning my next getaway.

Associate Team Members

Joao Ramos (m)
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.

Norhan Algafari (f)
Clinical Pharmacist

You may be speaking to Deborah and/or Edi when you have queries regarding your medication, or when your medication reviews are due. They will be working very closely with Dr Jain and Dr Mian using their 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.

David Byrne (m)
Community Matron

Community Matrons are senior nurses with enhanced skills that include independent prescribing, physical assessment and advanced care planning to facilitate and promote independence for patients in the community through proactive case management.

Community Matrons work closely with patients and their carers using an integrated approach alongside GPs, allied healthcare professionals, social services, hospital and voluntary services to improve the management for people who have a long term condition or a complex range of conditions.
