Meet the Team

The Practice has a dedicated team to take care of you. This includes additional, and sometimes more specialised, support. We ask that you are open to the idea of seeing other health professionals to support you.

Doctors

Dr Christine French (Female)

GP Partner
Cardiff 2006, MBBch, DRCOG, DFSRH, MRCGP
I graduated from the University of Wales College of Medicine in 2006 and worked for a few years in hospitals in Wales before moving to the Isle of Wight to complete my GP training.

Having grown up on the Island I was very happy to return and enjoy life with my family.

Dr Iwona Magier (Female)

GP Partner
Poland 1997, MRCGP, FSRH, MD
Having trained in Poland and the Wessex Deanery, I have been a qualified GP working at Medina Healthcare for the past eight years. My speciality is sexual and reproductive health.

What I enjoy most about working on the Island at Medina Healthcare is being part of a dedicated and supportive team who are all happy to walk that extra mile to help our patients.

Outside of work I enjoy science, history and sailing.

Dr Monica Vloemans (Female)

GP
Netherlands MRCGP DRCOG
Having completed General Medical Training in the Netherlands and GP Training in London, I have been a qualified GP for 23 years.

I have worked at Medina Healthcare for 18 years and have a speciality in diabetes, rheumatology and dermatology.

I love working at Medina Healthcare as it is a practice that is small enough so you know most of your patients and it is not too large that it becomes impersonal.

Away from my work I enjoy outdoor life, sea swimming and I still want to learn to sail.
