Dr David Roberts trained as a doctor at St Andrews and Manchester Universities and worked in Cheshire before joining the practice in 1994. His medical interests include Respiratory Disease, Diabetes and Psychiatry. He also works part-time as a forensic physician (Police Doctor) in Northamptonshire, and contributes widely to local NHS policy and planning through Practice Based Commissioning.
David's passion is for the practice to provide the best health care that it can for our patients. While this is not always the easiest thing to achieve, our philosophy is to try to find ways to help patients through the sometimes difficult health paths that lie before them. Appointment systems, safe prescribing, monitoring chronic conditions, and new services are all designed to make it as easy as possible for patients to get the care they need.
We do not pretend to be perfect and are always willing to listen to patients' perspectives on the care we offer, and to try to improve things where we haven't reached the highest standards. We may only be able to "cure sometimes" but our desire is to "care always". 
Dr Stephanie Johnson joined the partnership at Great Staughton Surgery in April 1995. After six years of training and registration in 1986 she embarked on three years of hospital training in Watford, Stevenage and Northampton as well as locally at Hinchingbrooke, before deciding on a career in General practice. During the period between 1990 and 1995 she had two children and worked part time as a locum in a number of practices including Great Staughton.
Her specific clinical interests in the practice are women's health and vascular disease (including monitoring and assessing risk factors for heart disease and stroke). As a partner she has also been responsible for ensuring that patients' records are all computerised correctly including summarising old data from paper records, involvement in staff training, and ensuring that repeat prescriptions are monitored regularly.
Her other interests include gardening, baking cakes and handicrafts. She is also an active member of Godmanchester Baptist Church which involves her in Sunday School teaching and helping with the Youth Club.
Dr Heinz Van Raemdonck (Dr Heinz) went to medical school in Belgium and gained a degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1997.
