Dr James Barnes GP Greater Glasgow and Clyde
Executive summary
A targeted search of the supplied reporting finds a public profile for a “Dr James Barnes” on the Stockwell Group Practice/GPsurgery network but no authoritative record in the NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGGC) materials provided that confirms a Dr James Barnes is an NHS GP practising within Greater Glasgow & Clyde [1] [2]. Other entries for clinicians named James or James Barnes appear in unrelated trusts and international directories in the sources given, underscoring the risk of conflating similarly named practitioners [3] [4] [5] [6].
1. The closest match: Stockwell Group Practice listing, not explicitly tied to NHSGGC
A profile titled “Dr James Barnes – Stockwell Group Practice” appears in the GPsurgery.net network content captured in the reporting, which lists clinical qualifications (MRCGP, MBChB, DRCOG, DCH (Bristol 1996)) alongside the practice branding [1]. That page is the only direct, named match for “Dr James Barnes” among the supplied snippets, but the Stockwell Group Practice entry in the dataset does not on its own establish that this Dr James Barnes works within NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde; the provided snippet does not place the practice inside the NHSGGC geography or governance [1].
2. NHSGGC public resources reviewed do not name Dr James Barnes in the available excerpts
NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde’s public pages and listed resources in the reporting describe the Board, services and general “Find a GP” style materials and include a PDF of GPs within NHSGGC and web pages about services, but none of the supplied excerpts explicitly list a Dr James Barnes as an NHSGGC GP [2] [7] [8]. The presence of comprehensive NHSGGC pages in the sample shows where an official listing would likely appear, but the reporting does not contain a line-item confirming the name in those NHSGGC documents [2] [8].
3. Multiple clinicians with similar names appear in other systems — a caution on identity
The dataset contains separate profiles for clinicians named James Barnes in other settings: a consultant surgeon at University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire (Mr James Barnes) [3], an academic/internal medicine faculty page for James Barnes at the University of Washington [4], a GP listing in Dee Why, Australia [5], and a bariatric surgeon in a US hospital directory [6]. These entries demonstrate that “James Barnes” is not unique and underscore the need for locality-specific confirmation before concluding affiliation with NHSGGC [3] [4] [5] [6].
4. Local GP governance and search avenues that the reporting highlights
Organisations that represent or catalogue GPs in Greater Glasgow & Clyde are included in the dataset — notably the Glasgow Local Medical Committee, which provides support and contact information to GPs across the NHSGGC area and could be a conduit for verifying practice affiliations [9]. NHSGGC’s own “Find my nearest” and service pages form the authoritative local web infrastructure where a named GP’s NHSGGC practice listing would normally be found; the supplied NHSGGC pages show these systems exist but do not include the requested name in the reported snippets [2] [7].
5. Conclusion and limits of the available reporting
Based on the documents supplied, a Dr James Barnes is publicly listed on a Stockwell Group Practice/GPsurgery entry but there is no direct, corroborating citation in the provided NHSGGC materials to confirm that a Dr James Barnes is a GP within NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde; other identically named clinicians appear in unrelated organisations in the sample, increasing the chance of mistaken identity if one assumes affiliation without local verification [1] [2] [3] [4]. The sources do not include a definitive NHSGGC practice-level listing for that name in the excerpts provided, so further confirmation from NHSGGC’s full “Find a GP” directory, a named practice website in Greater Glasgow & Clyde, or the Glasgow LMC would be the next journalistic step [2] [8] [9].
