GP TEAM

Dr Donna Crisp ( Senior Partner)

Having trained in the West Midlands I decided to move back to my home town in the Lake District. I initially did locums and then worked as a Salaried GP in Haverthwaite before joining Nutwood as a GP Partner in 2014. My interests include women’s health, child health, teaching and older age medicine.

When not working I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, fell walking, cycling, running and open water swimming when warm enough. My ultimate (and probably unrealistic) goal is to complete an iron man distance triathlon!

Dr Gemma Helme (Partner)

I joined the Practice as a GP Partner in 2016 having previously worked in various specialties in Manchester, North Cumbria, and New Zealand. I enjoy the variation that being a GP brings, particularly dealing with complex medical problems, women's health and paediatrics. I am qualified to fit coils. I also have a keen interest in teaching, research and innovation.

Outside of work I love spending time with my young family, travelling, walking the fells, running, cycling and socialising with friends. I enjoy entering competitive races to keep me fit!

Dr Kathy Tedcastle ( Partner )

Having been born and raised in the Lake District, I returned after completing my medical degree and training in Yorkshire. I initially worked as a GP in Ulverston and then Kendal, before joining the Practice as a GP Partner in 2017. I wanted to be a GP for as long as I can remember, and enjoy the variety that it brings; my particular interests being health education, diabetes and the menopause.

I am married with a young son who certainly keeps me busy. When I am not chasing round after him I enjoy walking, cycling and running and have completed three marathons.

Dr Beccy Greaves

Having trained in Newcastle, I moved to Cumbria to train as a GP and aside from 2 years spent living and working in New Zealand, I have been here ever since. I have worked most recently in Kendal and joined Nutwood in 2020. I have a particular interest in child health, women’s health, and palliative care. I am also involved with the teaching of medical students at Lancaster University.

Outside of work I love spending time with my young family, particularly. I enjoy walking and cycling and have recently started Fell Running. I also enjoy music and singing and am trying to teach my daughter to play the piano!

Dr Stuart Allan

I joined the practice in 2020 as a salaried GP.  Previously I have worked in Australia, New Zealand and Canada in remote GP work, as well as big city emergency medicine and trauma. I have previously trained GP's for 15 years and worked as a partner in Milnthorpe for a similar period of time.

I hold additional qualifications in teaching as well as travel and mountain medicine and volunteered for Kendal Mountain Rescue team for 7 years. I continue to teach for UCLan. I am particularly interested in urgent care as well as anything related to the outdoors and travel.
