Dr Piers Foster - GP, Founder
MBChB, MRCGP (2014)
Piers started his medical training in Edinburgh in 2001 and joined the Army as an undergraduate, spending 16 years in uniform, including several years as Regimental Medical Officer to the Irish Guards. He started working in private practice alongside his military role in 2015, finding that returning injured or sick soldiers to the highest possible standard of physical and mental fitness was analogous to the delivery of a high standard of care in all settings. Military experience has influenced his ongoing practice, bringing decisiveness and the development of a healthcare plan that truly works for you.
Upon retiring from the army Piers worked in the NHS and then exclusively as a private GP in London. Piers says of his creation of Lisle Medical: “I enjoyed my time working as a full time NHS GP and will continue to contribute where I can, but I wanted to deliver a responsive, personalised and convenient service modelled on a couple of early healthcare experiences of my own and which were the beginnings of my desire to be a doctor. I have used my middle name, Lisle, even at the risk of some confusion over pronunciation [silent ‘s’ if you’re wondering], because the service I passionately want to provide is very much part of my vocation and personality.”
Piers lives in West Sussex with his wife, two daughters, labrador and a variable number of chickens. He has a number of interests, none of which he is really able to give enough time to, but lists music, sailing, DIY, golf, skiing and cycling among the many things he will continue to squeeze in alongside his favourite pastime of spending time with his family in this beautiful part of the world.
Dr Madeleine Beach - GP
BMedSci (Hons) BMBS MRCGP
Madeleine is an experienced GP with a deep and thorough knowledge across many medical areas. She graduated from Nottingham University Medical School in 2006.
Initially, Madeleine trained as an anaesthetist, working in this specialty for over ten years across various Central and West London hospitals. She subsequently undertook further training to become a Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners. This dual experience has provided her with a broad skill set in both acute and family medicine.
Before moving to the local area, Madeleine spent five years working in a respected private clinic in West London. A true generalist, she highly values providing continuity of care to patients she knows well and has a particular interest in antenatal care and child health.
Madeleine lives near Guildford with her husband, twin boys, and their chocolate labrador. Her usual working days are Monday to Thursday in Haslemere.
Dr Charlotte Burton
MBBS MRCGP
Charlotte joined Lisle Medical in 2024, bringing extensive experience to the practice. A graduate of King's College London in 2008, she worked across various hospital specialties in Surrey before completing her GP training in 2013. Since then, she has worked extensively in the private healthcare sector for various providers across London and the South East.
Charlotte offers comprehensive general practice care for men, women, and children, with particular expertise in women's health, HRT, and sexual health. Having grown up locally and now living in the area with her husband and young family, she possesses an intimate knowledge of the local community. Her usual working day is Friday in Haslemere, and we are trying to persuade her to offer more sessions.
Dr Isabella Kent - GP
BSc MBBS MRCGP
Isabella graduated from King's College London in 2017, where she earned a medical degree and an additional degree in Gerontology. Her postgraduate training included experience at several leading London hospitals before she completed her GP training at Kingston Hospital. It was during this time that she developed a keen focus on lifestyle medicine and women's health.
Isabella is a strong advocate for disease prevention, and she will spend time with her patients to ensure they fully understand their situation and options to help them to make informed decisions that positively influence their future health. Her approach to care seamlessly integrates modern medicine and health innovation with fundamental, traditional lifestyle practices and a genuine human connection. She prioritizes clear, compassionate communication, striving to create an environment where every patient feels truly heard and understood.
Outside of her medical practice, Isabella resides in Farnham with her husband and two young daughters. She maintains a healthy balance through yoga and enjoys bringing people together over delicious home-cooked meals. Her usual working days are Wednesdays and Thursdays in both Haslemere and Chichester clinics.
Dr Kirsty Pollard - GP
BSc MBBS DRCOG MRCGP PGCertMedEd
Kirsty qualified as a doctor from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ School of Medicine in London in 2007, graduating with distinction. Her strong academic foundation is built on a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a Foundation in Natural Sciences, providing her with a comprehensive understanding of both the psychological and biological aspects of health.
With 18 years of experience, Kirsty is a dedicated, compassionate, and patient-centred GP committed to delivering high-quality care. She has a special clinical interest in cardiology, and her expertise also spans cancer and palliative care, mental health, and musculoskeletal medicine, including the provision of joint injections.
Passionate about medical education, Kirsty also serves as a GP trainer for the NHS, finding great fulfilment in supporting the next generation of GPs to develop into confident, compassionate clinicians. Her practice is centred on thoughtful, evidence-based care, with clear communication and strong patient relationships paramount to tailoring treatment to the individual.
Kirsty lives near Petersfield with her husband and two young boys. Outside of medicine, she maintains a busy life enjoying activities such as singing in a choir, pilates, tennis, sewing, cycling, and walking, and is often seen supporting her children from the touchline. He usual working days are Fridays, with more sessions to be added in time.
Nurse Carolyn
RN
Carolyn is our registered nurse, lending a hand wherever she can to the team. Originally (but no longer) a midwife, Carolyn will not be intentionally delivering children for Lisle Medical, but instead brings decades of nursing experience in a variety of settings. Carolyn will truly bring the full range of General Practice services to Lisle Medical: assisting with blood tests, vaccines, minor illness assessments and earwax clearance to free up more GP appointments, as well as offering a dressings service and post-operative wound management where required.
Janell - Practice Co-ordinator
Janell joined the team in 2025 to help run the administrative side of the practice. She will usually answer the phone unless the doctors get there first, and fields all manner of enquiries from our members, prospective patients and suppliers. Crucially she knows where everyone is and when and can find you an appointment or a solution to your problem. Janell’s has a varied CV with a wealth of experience in many areas, having run her own businesses, and most recently helping lead the regeneration of retail in Midhurst after the devastating fire. Now settled in the Midhurst area with her young family, she has the patience of a saint and nobody knows how we coped without her.
“It was so nice meeting you and reassuring you are around in time of crisis!”
“Dr Foster and his service are great!”
“I was worried about how [dad] would react to being asked many questions but you were so kind he thought he’d just had a friend visiting.”
