Dr Vishanka Ratnasuriya MBE

Partner

GMC Number: 6107062

Male
Qualifications: MB ChB ( Birmingham) 2004, BMedSc(hons), DOHNS, DCH, DipSEM, FRCGP

Bio: I Qualified as a doctor in 2004, and after 18 months at the Royal Wolverhampton Hospital, I returned to live in Harborne and train in our local Birmingham’s hospitals. Having trained at Lordswood from 2007, I became a partner in 2010. I value the relationships we build with patients and their families, the shared understanding and decision-making this helps, and therefore continuity Lordswood offers its patients.  I strive to improve services to help prevent more ill-health, provide more much needed access, alongside continuity that many (but not all) patients desire.   This has led me to seek leadership roles to support and improve practices whether in quality and standards of services offered, in recruiting and retain workforce, or develop completely new services, to ultimately serve our patients better and more resiliently. As such, in 2015 I was elected Chair of Our Health Partnership, which supports 47 practices across Birmingham and Shropshire as well as 10 Primary Care Networks (which deliver services across groupings of practices). I have national roles within the NHS Assembly and the NHS Confederation which allows me to find out about the best of what’s happening nationally and bring that back home to our practice. In 2018 I was awarded an MBE for ‘services to General Practice in the West Midlands’
Areas of specialist interest: Sports and Exercise Medicine, Joint Injections, Neonatal Health, Clinical mentoring, Clinical Leadership and service development.

Social Prescribing

Our social prescribers do a lot of work with local community groups, in which our patients can get involved with – and some are even running some of our groups themselves!
