Our Doctors

We have 8 GPs here at Hetton Group Practice. See below for more info / photos of our GPs.


GP Registrars

As a training practice we take GP Registrars on a 6 month rotation. They are fully qualified and have already done training in hospitals.

You can expect them to provide a full range of GP services. If they are not certain about what to do they will ask more senior colleagues for advice.

Currently at the practice we have the following registrars:

  • Dr E Cameron (Male GP Registrar)
  • Dr C Ikegwuoha (Female GP Registrar)
  • Dr M Mushtaq (Male GP Registrar)
  • Dr N Uddin (Female GP Registrar)

First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP)

Did you know? You can see a First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP) at your GP practice! 

If you’re experiencing muscle, joint, or bone pain—such as back or neck pain, sports injuries, or other musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions—you don’t always need to see a GP first. Our First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP) can assess your condition, provide expert advice, and recommend the best treatment options. 

What can an FCP do for you?

✔ Assess and diagnose musculoskeletal conditions 

✔ Recommend physiotherapy exercises and self-management strategies 

✔ Arrange pain relief through a GP if needed 

✔ Request imaging scans (X-rays, MRIs, etc.) 

✔ Refer to specialists, including orthopaedics and rheumatology 

No need to wait for a GP appointment for musculoskeletal problems—ask at reception to book with our First Contact Physiotherapist today!
