Practice Management
Donna Giddings
Practice Manager
I have worked in the NHS for over 40 years, my whole working life based on a nursing background predominantly in Primary Care. Over the years I developed my knowledge through formal education to work for the last ten years of my clinical life as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner. Formerly the Clinical Lead for the Surgery, the Covid pandemic saw my management, mentoring and teaching skills come to the fore and I realised how much I enjoyed this part of the role. Management restructuring at the Practice allowed me to gain promotion to Practice Manager; a role which I am really enjoying.
Martin Randall
Business Manager
After 30 years as a Manager in the Food industry, I decided it was time for a change of direction, which led me to the NHS and the Avenue Surgery, where I have been Practice Manager since January 2016. I lived in Warminster for 25 years before moving around the country, working for Geest Bananas, Vitacress Salads and other food processors. I also owned and ran a Pub/Restaurant in Yarlington Somerset, finally returning to Warminster in 2010. In 2021 as a result of the expanding business I became Business Manager.

Emma Murphy
Administration Manager
I have worked in the NHS since the age of 17, in Cornwall, Manchester and now here at The Avenue Surgery, where I have worked for over 12 years. I joined the Administration Team at the Avenue as a Medical Secretary in 2010, I was promoted to Senior Administration Assistant some years later. I was then promoted to Administration Manager, which is the position I hold now. During my time as Senior Administration Assistant I spent time with each person in the team, learning their role, so I could effectively assist and guide the team. I now manage a team of 12 people – the Administration Team are responsible for the registration of all patients at the practice, deductions of patients, scanning of correspondence into patient’s medical records, summarising medical records, private medical reports, copies of medical records, referrals and much more.
