Dr David Lloyd (m)
MBChB, FRCGP
I have been a GP in this practice since 1980. I trained in Bristol, learnt to be GP at Northwick Park, worked through many changes in the surgery and the health service, and am keen for more changes to happen. I can remember this practice when there was only one doctor here - Dr Shackleton! And reception was guarded by two wise old nurses - Mary and Margaret. What would they think of the surgery now!
I am directly involved in Harmoni, an organisation looking after patients when surgeries in West London are shut and working with NHS Direct to make it a useful and essential part of the local health system. I have several special interests: mental health, health information technology, children's health and asthma come to mind.
I feel part of a great team and want to know more about what patients want, so we can make the Ridgeway the best! |

I have been a partner at the Ridgeway Surgery almost as long as Dr. Lloyd. I have special expertise in dermatology and also spend a session a week running a diabetic clinic at Alexandra Avenue Health and Social Care Centre. I have been involved with the Primary Care Trust as the PEC Chairman in the past and continue to provide support and expertise for the PCT. |
Dr Ryszard Hermaszewski (m)
MBChB
Most people know me as Dr. Hermi as my surname is a mouthful. I trained in Bristol and came to Northwest London to work at Northwick Park Hospital for a few years before becoming a GP at the Ridgeway in 1994. I am interested in how things work, how people think and what motivates people to come to see the doctor. I have spent many years teaching and organizing medical students and continue to do so at the Royal Free and University College Medical School where I tutor students and lecture periodically on medical ethics and law. |
