NUG Officers
Dr Chris Frith - Chairman
Chris has been a partner of a 3.5 doctor paper-frugal training practice in Hereford for 25 years. They have used EMIS for 10 years since the potential of the millennium bug allowed them to switch from AMSYS having initially used Microdoc. They are involved in developing patients’ access to their records. Consultation (chatting) skills and ergonomics (laziness) have motivated him, along with 17 sheep, 3 children and a good medical wife. He is also a medical officer for the city’s League 2 football club known as the Bulls.
Dr Hasib Ur-Rub - Vice Chairman
Hasib has been a GP since 1991. He practices in Chislehurst, Kent. His interest in GP IT started after the Practice installed EMIS in 1994. He has been actively involved in GP IT development in Bromley since 1995. He has been on the NUG committee since 1998.
Dr Janet Wright - Treasurer
Janet is a GP in Hemel Hempstead. She joined the NUG committee in 1998, taking on the rewarding role of chair of the Watchdog sub-committee. Since Dec 2001 life has been more restricted than she would like due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome although, thankfully, some aspects of this are now back to normal. Outside work she enjoys her roles as auntie to six and step-grandmother to 3, leading to the opinion that being ‘Granny Janny’ is a rewarding way of using her limited energy.
Mr Tom Kerr - Acting Secretary
Tom is the Practice Manager at the Manor Street Surgery in Berkhamsted. He considers EMIS to be a valuable tool in General Practice and he views his role on the NUG committee as representing the non-clinical users of the system. An avid "armchair" sportsman; these days Tom restricts his physical activity to a bit of keep fit, managing a Boys football Team and keeping up with his young family.
