We are an established practice consisting of two partners -  Dr Liz Allen and Dr Ronnie Ip. We work together in the practice with  Dr Zareen Hossain-Ibrahim, Dr Kate Macdonald, Dr Vivien Wong, general practice specialist trainees and foundation doctors. In our practice team are the manager, Fiona Robertson, the practice nurse, Katrina Fletcher, administrative and health care staff and attached staff of pharmacist, district nurses, health visitors, midwife and respiratory nurse. A number of community clincs eg warfarin and listening service also run within the practice.

We are a teaching and training practice and are committed to providing the highest standards of care.

Also within Ancrum Medical Centre is the separate partnership of Drs I&S Arthur, Clarke and Sinclair.
