Tackling staff recruitment and retention problems has been an ongoing struggle in Workington, a deprived area of Cumbria – but local GP Dr McGreevy has led practices through the challenges. The PCN clinical director is highly praised for his mentorship and successful aligning of five practices, plus his navigation of service reconfiguration during the pandemic. He has been at the forefront of creating Covid-safe buildings and sourcing PPE. ‘He is well loved by patients, is level headed and patient with his colleagues,’ says fellow GP Dr Cherryl Timothy-Antoine.
