Dr Baber Yusaf

I trained at the London hospital (now the Royal London) and have been a Partner at this practice since 1988 having completed my GP training in Ipswich.

I have been a Principal in General Practice for over 20 years and am proud of being a generalist with a wide range of knowledge in family medicine.  I particularly enjoy working with children in the context of their families.  I also enjoy mental health care and feel that the majority of psychiatric care should be provided in a primary care setting.

I am responsible for the Practice Complaints Procedure and also the Critical Incidents/Significant Events meetings where we meet as a Practice to discuss difficult cases to try and learn from them and to improve the care we provide.
I am also the "Prescribing Lead" for the practice and monitor our prescribing trends to ensure that we are prescribing appropriately and in the most cost-effective manner.

Being a long established Partner, I am fully involved in the management of what is a large and well organised Practice and am proud of the high standards we maintain and aim to continue this tradition. I love being a GP and despite all the pressures and problems still regard it as "the best job in the world".  

Dr Lynn Dailey

Lynn joined StowHealth as a part time partner in 2000 having done several long term locums in the practice. She studied medicine at Aberdeen university then moved down to Suffolk in 1994 to undertake her GP training at the West Suffolk Hospital.

She enjoys being a part time mum and part time GP, the 'Mum' bit often being the tougher of the 2 jobs!

She enjoys the continuity of care she can offer in general practice, looking after all the generations of local families.

Lynn has an interest in complementary medicine, and liaises with all the Stowhealth Complementary Therapists on a regular basis.

Dr Veronica Kubis

Veronica graduated from Charing Cross Medical School, London.

She undertook her three year GP vocational training locally at the West Suffolk Hospital and at a general practice in Bury St Edmunds and is a member of the Royal College of General Practitioners.

Veronica joined the practice as a partner in 1992. She combines working part-time with caring for her five children.

She enjoys all aspects of family medicine but in particular the continuity of care of patients over time. For personal reasons Veronica will not refer women for termination of pregnancy.
