GAVIN LEEBURN

Contract Manager

Hi. After graduating with 1st Class Honours in Computing from the University of Ulster in 2001, and following 3 years working in IT programming, I decided to test myself with the challenging world of the NHS. Thus in 2004, I moved to Donaghadee Health Centre where my role involves managing the running of the Health centre & GMS GP Contract (&QOF). Please feel free to contact me via my email. Outside of the Practice I have a keen interest in sport including Badminton and Golf.

Reception

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
