Medical Team

The Medical Team is the collective title for the group of doctors who provide medical care at St Catherine’s Hospice.

Dr Amanda Gregory and Senior Staff Nurse Lynne Denyer

The team includes Consultants in Palliative Medicine, Specialty Doctors, and a local GP – all of whom are permanent staff.  Other qualified doctors spend time at St Catherine's Hospice to gain experience of palliative medicine. 

The medical team is led by the three Consultants in Palliative Medicine, Dr Catherine Gleeson, Dr Patricia Brayden and Dr Amanda Gregory.    Our Specialty Doctors have experience in palliative care and see patients both at home and on the wards.  They help to provide continuity of senior medical expertise.  

Registrars are fully qualified doctors training to become consultants in palliative medicine.   They usually spend 12 months at St Catherine’s.   Our ward doctors are qualified doctors undertaking a four-month placement to gain experience in palliative care.   We have a local GP, with a particular interest in palliative care, who opts to work part time at the hospice in order to maintain her skills in end of life care.
