Meet The Team
Dr. Andrew Bower – GP Partner
MBBS, MRCGP, DCH, DFFP, DRCOG
I have been a GP for many years having qualified in London. I moved to Somerset in 2001 and joined the team at Bow in 2007.
I enjoy the many challenges that general practice in a rural community provide, but I have a particular interest in palliative care, cardiovascular disease and care of the elderly.
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family. My interests include rugby, running and gardening.
Ms Michelle Freeburn – Managing Partner
Dip.PPM (Distinction), Dip. RSA, MIHM, MInstLM, AIGPM
I have worked within the field of management since 1997, starting my career with Lloyds Pharmacy. I moved into General Practice in 2004, joining the team at Bow in 2009. I really enjoy working within the healthcare community, providing support to patients, the practice team and our attached staff.
My duties outside of the practice include; Chair of the Pan Devon Practice Managers Forum, board member and lead manager Mid Devon Healthcare Primary Care Network (MDH PCN).
I constantly endeavour to balance my career and home life. I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting the theatre, listening to a wide range of music and reading.
