Management Team

Miss D Riley
Practice Manager

Our Practice Manager oversees the operational and management of Northgate Medical Centre, have been in the role for just over 5 years having joined the practice in April 2019. As well as overseeing the Practice, I support our PCN Chester Central in the introduction, development and mentoring of additional roles that offer a wide range of appointments for our patients with services such as physio, mental health, social prescribing, counselling, health and wellbeing, clinical pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, dieticians and care co-ordinator.

Outside of work, I like to keep fit and spend quality time with the family. I am a keen indoor boulderer, and sometimes even venture outdoors for a bit of bouldering on the rock and spend many weekends in Wales walking, camping and hiking with the family.

I look after the practice QOF and IIFs targets for the practice, involving chronic disease recalls and other targets set by our local ICB.

I have been with the practice for over 29 years and in my spare time enjoying going to the gym, long walks with the family and our dog. I am part of a dance group that I attend weekly learning various routines and performing at events in my spare time.
