GP Team

Dr John Havard  Senior Partner, MBBS, FRCGP, DRCOG, FPCert

I qualified from the Royal Free Hospital in London in 1982 and have been a GP in Saxmundham since 1986. My particular interest is medical innovation and have worked on projects as diverse as InstantCare to prevent hospital admissions and Facelook to try to tackle social isolation using Skype. I am currently trying to develop a new indwelling urinary catheter to replace the Foley which was designed in 1937.

Dr Clare Craik Partner, BM, BCh, MRCGP, PhD

After qualifying from Oxford University in 1992 I completed my GP training in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire before becoming a Partner in Henley-on-Thames.

With our young family we moved back to my home county of Suffolk where I worked as a Partner in Halesworth before joining the team in Saxmundham. My medical interests include Ear Nose and Throat and medical education, and outside of work I enjoy the challenges of gardening alongside rabbits and home baking.

Dr Mike Hamblyn MBBS, MRCGP, DFFP

After an extended educational pre-amble gaining a BA in Geography at Hull University in 1992 (one of  England’s three greatest Universities alongside Oxford and Cambridge), I qualified in Medicine from University College London Medical School in 1998. I joined Saxmundham Health in 2002. 

Outside of work I have a busy family life which doesn’t leave much time for anything else.

Sadly my Geography knowledge is relegated to being a specialist subject on Quiz Night which, as Dr Havard will attest, usually goes very badly!

Dr Adam Mowles BMedSci BMBS MRCGP

I qualified at the University of Nottingham in 1992. I moved back to my home county of Suffolk for my GP training based at Ipswich Hospital. After 15 years as a Partner at an Ipswich surgery, I joined the team at Saxmundham Health in 2015.

Away from the job, I enjoy spending time on the Suffolk coast with my family. I spend (too much) time listening to music, at Snape and elsewhere.

Dr Jessica Milton MBChB BSc DRCOG DFFP DCH

I qualified in 2000 at Liverpool University medical school.

I joined Saxmundham surgery in 2015. Prior to moving to Suffolk I trained and worked in Bristol. 

I have a special interest in Women's Health including family planning. I am a coil and implant fitter. I have recently been accredited with an Advanced certificate in the Principles and Practice of menopause care. My other clinical interests include Paediatrics, Dermatology and Medical Education and I am enjoying my new role as a GP Trainer. 

Outside of work I enjoy running, cycling, and cooking for my friends and family.

Dr Darren West MBBS, MRCGP

I qualified from Barts and The London medical school in 2001 and moved to Ipswich in 2002 to begin my GP training.

After completing my training I worked in a central Ipswich practice until 2022. During my time there I was involved in training medical students, trainee GPs and a Physician Associate. In 2022 I joined the team at Saxmundham as a full time GP.
