GREENWOOD SURGERY - Key Persons
I joined as partner at Greenwood and Wyncroft Surgery in October 2022.
I work part of my week at Wyncroft Surgery and part of my time at Greenwood Surgery and I have specialist interest in Ear Nose and Throat conditions.
Born in Coventry, I studied in Nottingham and completed GP training in 2012 from Derby. When starting my family, I moved to Essex and joined Greenwood Surgery in 2017.
On introduction of the Primary Care Network in 2019, Dr Patel and I were nominated Clinical Directors of South Woodham Ferrers Primary Care Network. This role allows us to be at the forefront of developing and improving local primary care. I am a passionate about improving patient care and have an active role as GP Lead for Greenwood Surgery carrying out weekly ward rounds for our local care home residents.
Since joining, I have been enthusiastic in supporting the Greenwood Surgery team to continuously develop, update and utilise digital technology and systems to provide our patients with the best care possible.
I joined Greenwood Surgery on a voluntary basis 12 years ago, starting on reception and eventually moving to the admin department. I have gained experience on the job and have a wonderful partnership with Pauline in the secretarial department. I love the outdoors - especially the beach and have been lucky enough to have a beach hut for the last 5 years. My plan is to buy a campervan and explore the UK.
I have worked for the NHS for over 20 years and have currently been at Greenwood Surgery for 10 years as Secretary to the practice, which I enjoy. I enjoy spending time with my family, as well as listening to music, reading, and walking my two dogs in my spare time.
Job Titles:

My name is Shannon Smith, I am Reception Manager at Greenwood Surgery. I have worked here for just over 1 year. I have worked in the NHS since I was 17 years old, working my way up to my current role. As well as managing reception, I deal with new patients, workflow & insurances, as well as being a helping hand to all staff at the surgery. Outside of work I enjoy being with friends and family!
Job Titles:
- Practice Manager
- Practice Manager / Administration
I have been working in general practice for the last 9 years; 7 of those have been with Greenwood Surgery. I started as a receptionist when I had 2 very young children, at a practice in Basildon and progressed to become a Practice Manager. My role is very challenging but enjoyable. I believe that maintaining a hardworking, productive and effective workforce ensures we get great results. I am very fortunate to have a great team who ensure patient care is a priority.
Outside of work I have a busy family life and I enjoy reading and socialising with friends.
