Dr Quinton is from London. She qualified as a doctor from University College London in 1991 and joined Elborough Street Surgery as a partner in 2002. Before this she was a GP in Morden, in Hackney and in Camden. Before becoming a GP, she worked as a doctor in The Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children in Hackney and Whipp’s Cross and Chase Farm Hospitals’ A&E departments. She also worked with the Gynaecology team at UCLH and in The IVF Clinic at The Hammersmith.

She enjoys her life as a GP and has been Clinical Director of Wandle Primary Care Network since July 2019. Dr Quinton spent many years as a GP Trainer and medical student tutor at St Georges and continues to be a GP appraiser in Wandsworth.  She is a member of the Royal College of General Practitioners and holds the Diploma for Child Health.

Born in mid Wales, Dr Kandasamy trained in Glasgow and after house jobs in Glasgow and Cornwall spent several years in North Devon. She relocated to London with her partner and after some time as an assistant joined the Practice in January 2001.

Her interests include women’s and sexual health, family planning and education. She has also worked as a clinical assistant at the Wolverton Centre (Kingston Hospital’s GU clinic).

I am from Karachi in Pakistan- from where, having qualified as a doctor, I came to the UK for postgraduate studies in Paediatrics. Having obtained a full membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health I became interested in primary care, through having worked in Community Child Health. I have been a GP since 2007 and have worked both in the UK and the Middle East and joined Elborough Street Surgery in 2019.

My main focus outside of the practice is my family. I also enjoy cooking and reading Urdu poetry.

After gaining my medical degree in Innsbruck, Austria in 2000, I moved to the UK and trained as a GP. I have worked at Elborough Street Surgery since 2004, with some breaks during which I worked in Australia and New Zealand.

My clinical interests include women’s health and dermatology. By combining my favourite pastime of hiking with work I have gained experience in expedition and altitude medicine.

I am fluent in German and English, with some knowledge of French.

I have worked in NHS management for 13 years. I love developing new systems and services for patients. I really enjoy helping our Primary Care Network (PCN) on projects and developments and find it hugely rewarding. I work closely with Dr Laura Quinton, Clinical Director of Wandle PCN. We have now built a team of pharmacists, physiotherapists, care coordinators, social prescribers, physicians associates and paramedics.

When I’m not at work you will probably find me on a badminton court, playing league matches in London. I have competed in Ballroom and Latin dancing and have contributed to choreography on Strictly Come Dancing. I was also a jiving doctor in the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic games.

My career with the NHS began in 2015 working across Lambeth and Wandsworth. I joined the Elborough team in February 2020. Working for the NHS is extremely rewarding and delivering high patient care and making a difference in patients’ lives is one of my core values.

We have an amazing team here and as the Reception Manager, I enjoy building and developing colleagues by offering coaching, support and various training opportunities.

Outside of work, you’ll catch me cycling everywhere and anywhere and completed my first London to Brighton in 2022.

I have worked for the NHS for just over 2 years and I really enjoy working with the team at Elborough street surgery and helping patients.

Outside of working hours I enjoy being  active and working out

I’m an administrator at the practice and have worked for the NHS for many years. I joined the Elborough team in June 2019. I’m responsible for Document Management, non-NHS services such as insurance medical reports, processing subject access requests (SAR’s), and many other general admin queries.  When I’m not working I enjoy jigsaw puzzles and spending time with my family.

I am Medical Administrator/ Phlebotomist at Elborough Street. I have been working at the Surgery since 2011 and feel very privileged to be a part of the NHS and also working with an amazing team at Elborough Street Surgery.

What is Wandle PCN?

Five NHS GP practices – Southfields Group Practice, Elborough Street Surgery, Wandsworth Medical Centre, The Earlsfield Practice and Triangle Surgery – located in the borough of Wandsworth have joined forces to make sure each one of their patients can benefit from a broader range of accessible, high quality healthcare, both now and in the future. Our united name for this is the Wandle Primary Care Network (PCN).

Although our practices still operate independently, providing GP services and keeping their own patient lists, individual identities, premises and teams, we are now providing certain services together. These include Hypertension clinics, Menopause clinics, extra GP (including evenings and Saturdays) and Nurse clinics, as well as appointments with an array of specialist clinicians, such as Clinical Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Physician Associates,  Paramedics, an Assistant Psychologist, a Social Prescriber and a Health and Wellbeing Coach.

It is a new name, but it is about providing you with the right services, by the right people, at the right time.

Paramedics: Ryan Bates, Conchita Rilo

Physiotherapist: Glen Wilkinson, Justyna Drozdowska

Pharmacists: Aine Hackett, Poonam Jethwa
