Administrative Staff
Practice Manager – Joe-Anne Moore
The Practice Manager is responsible for the day to day general management and smooth running of the practice. Joe-Anne ensures that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, patient safety, premises, equipment and information technology.

Administration and Reception Staff
Our receptionists, secretaries and admin staff will be able to help with queries or problems. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. They make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescription and dealing with prescription enquiries. Anything that is discussed with the receptionists or any other member of the team is treated in strict confidence. You have a right to be treated courteously and our staff also have the right to be treated courteously by you. We can offer privacy if your enquiry is sensitive.
GP Registrars
Dinas Lane Medical Centre became a GP training practice in 2009 when Dr Jain became a GP Trainer. We have GP trainees who are based in the practice for 6-12 months. This helps them gain valuable experience within the practice in a supported way before they complete their GP training. They are an asset to the practice. Dr Jain is the lead GP Trainer, and Dr Loughran and Dr Poole are qualified trainers who also supervise our registrars.
Medical Students
We are linked with the University of Liverpool and have Year 3 and Year 4 medical students attached to the practice throughout the year. This is usually their first experience with general practice and learn through observing consultations, taking histories and examining patients under doctor supervision. You may be asked if you are happy to see a student doctor whilst they are on placement. We are very grateful to our patients for providing educational opportunities for the students to enhance their learning and refine their skills before becoming doctors.
