About Swanson Medical Centre Swanson Medical Centre was set up in the late 1970’s by the local pharmacist, Margaret Saunders. Dr Mike Jenkin joined the Practice in 1984 and took over as a sole practitioner in 1987. As he became busy with obstetrics he took on an assistant for one session a week, and from there  the Practice expanded to the current 3 doctors. Dr Wiki Gillespie joined Swanson Medical Centre in 2012 and became a partner on 1 April 2013. Dr Helen Johnston joined the Practice in 2014. Dr Tony Moyle joined in June 2017.
