Yvonne Metcalf

I joined the FPS committee in 2019 and became Chair in April 2022 . I am a registered social worker with a major interest in children and their families. I am passionate about supporting patients of all ages, heritages and identities to engage with the surgery so that they can work together to achieve the best outcomes in terms of their health and wellbeing.

Lloanne Lees

I have been a Parkwood patient since I moved to Hemel in 2003, joined the committee after attending an FPS health talk on Diabetes in 2016 and became FPS Secretary in 2017, utilising skills from my day job. I’m enthusiastic about improving engagement between patients and the practice and supporting patients in becoming better informed on health matters.

Jo Bullen

I’ve been a patient at Parkwood Surgery my whole life, and a member of the FPS committee since 2018. In my day job, I’m the Head of English at a local secondary school, and I’m a big believer in education as a means to living a healthier and happier life. I manage the FPS mailbox, Facebook and Twitter pages, using these to promote our activities and provide general information to our members. I’m particularly passionate about young people’s health and ensuring we communicate effectively with our younger members.

Sue Durham

I’ve been a patient at the surgery since moving into the area in 1979, joined the Committee in 2018 and became Treasurer in 2021. After working as a librarian in Hertfordshire for over 25 years I’m now retired and have joined the committee to help fellow patients engage with the practice and work together to improve services and the patient experience.

I’ve been a patient of Parkwood Drive Surgery for many years & wasn’t aware ofThe Friends of Parkwood Drive. Jacquie Humpheys explained to me what it was & what it was trying to achieve for the patients. She sweetly persuaded me to join, as she has done many others. Getting contributions for the Christmas raffles, rooms for meetings, circulating FPS notices have been good to do. Unfortunately all this all this came to a stop due to COVID& the dreaded ZOOM made an appearance…. Hopefully things will return to some normality & our funding, open meetings etc will return to swell the coffers & give patients more insight to what we can do for them.

Richard Cartwright

I joined the FPS commitee in 2021 and my main contribution so far has been to set up this website with help from my FPS colleagues.
