My current project at home is trying to convert a wild tangle of land into some sort of garden and a vegetable patch. My wife and I have one young child at present who keeps us free from boredom in any spare time that might come our way! |

 Dr John Parry (m)
MA MB BChir DRCOG MRCGP
(University of Cambridge 1980)
I have been a partner at Holycroft since 1985. Over the years I have become increasingly involved with medical matters outside the practice, which has reduced the amount of time I have been available to patients. From April this year (2009) this reduces even further to just one surgery a week, as I take up more work with the medical computing company I have worked with for many years, as their clinical director, while continuing for the moment to Chair the Airedale and Wharfedale Practice Based Commissioning group, working as the clinical lead on behalf of the PCT.
I find all of family care interesting, and profess no expert knowledge, but a lot of experience. I enjoy helping people with skin complaints as well as looking after patients with more complex problems.
I am married with four grown up children and three grandchildren. My wife is a Methodist Minister. |
 Dr Penny Sinclair (f)
MB ChB DRCOG MRCGP DFP DCH
(University of Southampton 1984)
I graduated from Southampton University in 1984 and then trained as a GP in Bradford, London and Australia. I moved to Yorkshire 20 years ago and have worked as a GP but also in student health, child health, family planning and sexual health. I have worked at Holycroft since 2003 and enjoy the variety of the work at our practice. Juggling my job with family, a fell running husband and three active children doesn't leave much spare time but I do manage to sqeeze in some tennis, cycling and reading (not just prescriptions!) |
 Dr Anneke Swager (f)

I was born in The Netherlands and did my medical training at Leiden University. After that I worked as a GP for several years before we moved to the UK in 1997. Since then I worked in Bingley for 5 years and after that at several different practices across the Airedale Area. I joined Holycroft Surgery in February 2006. My special interests are Contraception and Sexual Health and I also work at the CASH clinic in Keighley Health Centre.
