Dr Matthew Leech
General Practitioner
BSc(Hons),MBChB(Hons),MRCGP, DRCOG
"I thoroughly enjoy working at Spire where I can provide personalised and ongoing care to my patients and their families helping people lead happy and healthy lives."
I am a GP with a passion for providing only the highest quality of care to my patients. I believe in the importance of actively listening to my patients to truly understand their concerns and health priorities. In addition to treatment of minor illness, I also help patients manage and optimise their ongoing long-term health conditions. I also have a passion for proactive and preventative lifestyle medicine.
I work with many patients on an ongoing basis, providing them with support to take control of their health to live happy and healthy lives. I have extensive experience as a private GP and helping my patients navigate both the private and NHS medical sector to find the right treatment for them.
I hold a diploma from Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Women’s Health and specialise in menopause management including HRT. I also work as a partner at an NHS GP practice in Lymm where I specialise in men’s health, musculoskeletal conditions including joint injections and dermatology complaints including minor surgery.
I am a trainer in medical education and hold the position as GP clinical lead for Maternity, Children and Young People services in Warrington place.

Personal profile
In my spare time I love to spend time walking with my wife, two young children and a very large mountain dog. I help coach my son's rugby and football teams and I love keeping physically and mentally fit through cycling, swimming and crossfit training, as well as trying to cook on occasion.
