Dr Rzadzinska Joins The St Neots Team 

Dr Agnieskza Rzadzinska, fulfilled her childhood ambition of becoming a doctor following an accomplished career in research where she contributed to microscopic techniques and wrote major research papers. Her pioneering work paved the way for the development of successful gene therapy which cures deafness in children.

After many years in research she wanted to fulfil her childhood dream and become a doctor. After qualifying as a GP nearly ten years ago she has had lead GP roles at other practices, but the role at St Neots is her first GP Partnership. She says the role and the practice is exactly what she wanted:

‘I joined Lakeside because I wanted to go somewhere that was well run, with good care and patient safety and enough appointments to make patients happy. I chose Lakeside because of how well organized it is and how much monitoring of activities is being done. It is very patient -focussed and I really like that we work as a team. I love my job, I really like seeing patients grow – it is about knowing what they want and what you can offer them.’

Being a GP follows her career when she was one of the leading researchers into ear microscopy, and researching viruses in hair cells with state-of-the-art microscopes. She began microscopy at the Institute of Occupational Medicine in Poland before being invited to work at the National Institute of Health in the USA. She was persuaded to come to the UK by a research company equipped with some of the most expensive precision microscopes in the world.
