Members of Boston PCN
Boston PCN is a collaboration of all the practices in our PCN area, these include all GP partners and practice managers.
To support them in delivering additional services there is a PCN Management Team.
This is the team:
Dr Zubair Alam - Clinical Director
I qualified as a GP nearly 15 years ago and have been a GP partner at Swineshead Medical Group for over 13 years. I am a qualified GP trainer for registrars and other auxiliary staff and have a keen understanding of how different role compliments each other to create a team that can provide the best care to patients, not only clinically but within the wider health and social care system. I have a special interest in diabetes and dermatology and have completed diplomas in both. During this training I gained and understanding of the importance of integrated teams and how complimentary relationships between Primary and Secondary care, can reduce pressure on hospitals and provide local care for our patients.
I feel this post will allow me to further enhance the healthcare services provided locally. It provides an opportunity to bridge the gap between local health provider and the hospitals and implement the change necessary to match the demands and expectations of the patients.
Dr Divya Kuttappan - Deputy Clinical Director
Dr Kuttappan obtained her basic Medical Degree from India in 2000 and completed GP training in Boston in 2016. Since then she has been working as salaried GP in Lincolnshire. She has done a Fellowship in Diabetes in 2018 and is currently a GP Educator. She has special interest in population health management and Lifestyle Medicine. She was actively involved in setting up of the Boston Junior Parkrun and is one of the Event Directors.
