About Dr John Emery

Personal Profile

Dr John Emery is a Private GP at Beaumont Hospital in Bolton. He sees self-pay patients.

He was born and educated locally in the area around Bolton. He completed his undergraduate degree in Biology at Durham University after developing a keen interest in the sciences. He graduated with honours, and subsequently qualified as a doctor from The Nottingham University Medical School. As a medical student, he excelled and was awarded the student prize for his 'Community Follow Up Project'. He also scored highly in the 'Duke Elder' examination, awarded for ophthalmology.

Dr Emery has undertaken a medical elective in Belize, alongside a team of doctors from Harvard University based at the San Ignacio Hospital. During this, he contributed to the specialities of ophthalmology and respiratory medicine, gaining a great deal of practical experience and knowledge whilst working tirelessly to improve the health of the local population.

Upon his graduation from medical school, he scored highly in the national matching process for junior doctors. He received his first choice of position in the competitive Central Manchester foundation programme, based at Manchester Royal Infirmary. As he transitioned from outstanding medical student to junior doctor, he gained a wealth of experience in such specialties as:

  • General medicine and surgery
  • General practice (GP)
  • Emergency medicine
  • Psychiatry

He went on to complete his GP training within the Salford and Trafford deanery. Here, he gained further valuable experience as a junior doctor in such specialties as:

  • GP
  • Paediatrics
  • Emergency medicine
  • Gynaecology
  • Women’s health

It was during this time where he first became interested in elderly medicine, working closely with the geriatric team at Trafford General Hospital.

Since his qualification, Dr Emery has further developed and nurtured his specialist interest in elderly health and longevity medicine. Throughout the COVID pandemic, he worked as a care home doctor for the Northern Care Alliance. During this challenging period, he dedicated himself to the residents of Salford in order provide them with the best possible care. In 2022, he was awarded a Diploma in Geriatric Medicine from The Royal College of Physicians and the British Geriatric Society.

In his current NHS role, Dr Emery is a practising GP partner and holds a list at Peel House Medical Practice. The practice has served the population of Accrington for over 50 years. He strives for daily excellence in his medical care, providing a personalised service to his patients. His focus is also on training the next generation of doctors and is actively involved in the teaching and supervision of both medical students and resident doctors at Peel House. He is invited regularly in a formal capacity to work as an examiner at Manchester Medical School.

Dr Emery continues to live locally with his wife and three children. In his spare time, he enjoys running, hiking and generally being outdoors whenever possible. He looks forward to meeting you, fostering a lifelong, trust-based relationship with you and working together to improve and keep you in robust health. In his private practice, he states that his aim is to help his patients “live better for longer”.
