Dr Vibhore Prasad
GP PartnerAbout Dr Vibhore Prasad
I grew up in West Yorkshire in the 80’s and 90’s. I lived close to mining communities from the earliest years of my life. Later I attended medical school in Leeds and graduated as a doctor in 2001. I have been a partner here since 2019.
Prior to becoming a GP, I worked all over England, doing a lot of work with children and young people. I was struck by how important general practitioners’ work is in preventing illness. So I decided to become one!!
Amongst my lead roles, I am research lead. I am also a part-time academic GP and I undertake research in that role too. I am especially interested in improving the health of children and young people through my research. I am the clinical director for Ashfield North Primary Care Network (a collaboration between the 5 local GP surgeries). This allows me to think about how to improve the health of 50 thousand people across our area.
I have undertaken diplomas in child health, sexual and reproductive health and fellowship of the Royal College of General Practitioners. I have other academic qualifications that have helped me as an academic, including a PhD.

Dr Louise Gardner
GP PartnerAbout Dr Louise Gardner
Born and raised in Nottingham, I completed my Medical degree at York University in 2013; then moved back to Nottingham to be closer to family. I enjoyed a range of hospital jobs at Kings Mill Hospital including A&E, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Mental health, among others. I completed my General Practice training in 2018. I chose to stay at Brierley Park Medical Centre because I felt we were patient centred and put the care and wellbeing of our patient’s first. After an adventurous year working in Australia in A&E in 2019 and some travelling, I have returned to Brierley Park where I have recently completed my GP trainer’s course to hopefully help shape the future of General Practice.

I am Dr. Rumana Ishtiaq. A General Practitioner. I completed my GP training from Mansfield and have since settled in the local community. It was here that I started working at this practice in 2022, initially as a trainee and now as a fully qualified GP.
During my medical journey, I gained valuable experience through various hospital jobs. These included rotations in ENT, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Psychiatry, and Palliative Care. This diverse background has equipped me with a well-rounded understanding of healthcare and enables me to approach patient care from different perspectives.
In my current role, I have the privilege of looking after patients of all ages and backgrounds. Recently, I completed a minor surgery course, and I am enthusiastic about continuing to expand my skills in this area. Performing minor surgical procedures allows me to provide comprehensive care to my patients and enhance their overall well-being.
Beyond my clinical responsibilities, I actively contribute to the development of our practice. I have been involved in assisting with the creation of our new website, ensuring that patients have access to valuable information and resources online. Additionally, I understand the importance of effective communication in healthcare, which is why I have taken on the responsibility of engaging with our patients through social media platforms like Facebook.
