Dr Rhiannon Nally

Dr Nally has been a GP Partner at Wansford for 30 years relinquishing this role on September 2024. She is a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners and was a GP Trainer for 22 years . She worked for many years as the Older Peoples Lead for Cambridgeshire Clinical Commissioning Group, introducing Multidisciplinary Team Working between Primary , Secondary Care , Community Services and Third Sector Organisations.

During her time at Wansford she has seen the Practice double in size to 10,500 patients. She has been an instrumental part of bringing a Pharmacy and a Primary Care Research Unit to the Health Campus. Her Research Experience spans many years as a Sub – Investigator, accelerating with the Novovax Trial in 2020 during what was a Global Public Health emergency. She was part of the Research Team that was awarded the Royal College of General Practitioners Research Practice of the Year in 2019 and has since worked as a Principal Investigator on many studies in the areas of Infectious Disease, Covid Treatments, Urinary Tract Infection Cancer Screening and  Atrial Fibrillation.   She has mentored a Greenshoots Doctor to become a Research Active Sub – Investigator and recently an Associate Principal Investigator within the Wansford Team to become Royal College of General Practitioners First -5 Research Doctor 2024.

She has worked as Research Lead for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board since 2021 and become an active member of the Vaccine Innovation Forum.

She is a Director of the Research Team at Wansford and via the Clinical Research Network has developed a Hub and Spoke Model with 3 other Central Peterborough Practices. This increases the patient list size accessible for Research from the Wansford Site to circa 80,000 patients , increasing not only numbers of possible participants but also accessing a much broader culturally diverse population with the Peterborough Practices serving more than 100 different language groups.

She is a Director of Greater Peterborough Network of GP Practices – the Primary Care Federation across Peterborough which is increasingly becoming a provider of services for Primary Care at Scale for example Virtual Ward and Call Before U Convey ( CB4UC)  ( Reducing Ambulance Conveyances and Hospital Admissions) . Until recently she was a Board member of South Peterborough Primary Care Network ( PCN) where she remains the Clinical Lead.

Since relinquishing her General Practice Role her career has become increasingly Research focused.
