December 2009

There are changes afoot at the Practice and sadly, Dr Thomas will be retiring on 31 March 2010 and we are advertising for another full-time GP to replace him.  Those patients who usually see Dr Thomas may like to continue with his successor and if there happens to be a short interval between Doctors, rest assured, you will be able to see another Doctor in the Practice.  We will let you know his successor in due course.

September 2009

We are delighted to announce the formation of a Patient Participation Group (PPG).  It will act as a liaison group between you, the patient, and the Doctors and management of the Practice.  The PPG can offer advice on matters relating to the administration of the Practice to aid the efficient running of the Surgery.

The PPG cannot advise on clinical matters or patient complaints.

If you wish to get in touch with a PPG member please contact  either the Chairman, Jim Finnie, on 01344 774729, e-mail address:
