Final introduction for our new registrar.

Hi everyone,

My name is Dr Ryan Cory. I grew up in Chesterfield, and after spending 6 years in London completing my medical degree, I decided to move back closer to home!

I started GP Training in Chesterfield just over a year ago and have been lucky enough to be placed at Wingerworth for the next four months. Before starting GP Training I worked in various hospitals around South Yorkshire for 3 years.

In my spare time I enjoy swimming, gardening and occasionally making things out of stained glass.

First introduction to a new registrar working at wingerworth for the next 4 months.

Hi to all at Wingerworth surgery, my name is Darian Byron-Parker.
I have recently started working at the surgery as part of my GP training and so far feeling very welcomed by everyone I have met!

I am originally from Wakefield, and moved to the University of Sheffield to complete my medical degree. I graduated as a doctor in 2020, and started work in hospitals across South Yorkshire. For the last 3 years I have been working across different departments in Chesterfield Royal Hospital.
When I'm not working I enjoy getting outside as much as I can, visiting family, walking in the peak district, and doing some gardening.

I am very glad to be completing my GP training in Chesterfield and look forward to my time at Wingerworth!
