Staff

Mrs Lorraine Stratulis

Job Title: Practice Manager

Mr Jimmy Cheung

Job Title: Clinical Pharmacist
Additional Notes: Hello my name is Jimmy Cheung. Please call me Jim.

I am the Clinical Prescribing Pharmacist working at your surgery. I have been a qualified Pharmacist for over 15 years starting my career in hospital and then the last 6 years in General Practice and the community.

My family and I have been living in Warrington for over 10 years and working in the community helping the residents of our town has been an absolute pleasure and my most rewarding journey of my career.

I really enjoy dealing with all types of medicine reviews and queries with patients both face to face and by telephone. This enables me to help my colleagues at the surgery as well as free up GP and Nurse Practitioner appointments. My main love though is to help patients to get the most from their medicines, to understand them better, and to be able to answer any specific questions about them.

At the same time I can also prescribe and undertake some basic clinical examinations to monitor whether the treatment is the best that it can be, or if any changes can be made to get even better results from the medicines, and support patients to manage their conditions themselves.

I love working in tandem with all GPs, Nurses and Practice staff and can liaise closely on your behalf with other healthcare providers outside the surgery, including our hospital colleagues and your Community Pharmacy.

Thank you all in advance for welcoming me to the Springfield Medical Centre family.
