Simon de Vial

Simon de Vial

Non-Clinical Partner.
Male

Having worked as a GP in Bury for more than 30 years, Simon de Vial retired from clinical practice in December 2024.  He is now a Non-Clinical Partner at the practice.

Simon was a GP for his whole career within the NHS, and having trained in Greater Manchester, he joined our Minden site as a General Practitioner back in 1992.

During his time as a GP, he gained a special interest in minor surgery along with organisational leadership. Prior to his semi-retirement in 2023, he was also the Chair and Registered Manager of Tower Family Healthcare.

Reflecting on his career, the part of the job he most enjoyed was developing ongoing relationships with patients and families over many years.  Seeing how regular people cope with difficult circumstances and standing alongside them at the most testing of times was a humbling experience for him.   He is also incredibly proud of our team who always go the extra mile to provide the best possible care for our patients.

Simon enjoys watching Sale Sharks play rugby, he is a supporter of the Special Olympics ski group where his son is a slalom skier, and he is kept busy spending time with his grandchildren.
