Who is my doctor now?


From 1st February 2015 you will be registered with a GP Partner who will oversee your care. Dr King's patients will also be temporarily registered with another GP Partner.

When you contact us we will inform you who your registered GP is. However, you will be able to see other GPs within the Practice who will look after you throughout an episode of care.
If you are unsure who your registered GP is, please ask us.

Update on urgent and necessary measures

In October last year NEW Devon CCG announced a number of potential measures as part of their financial recovery programme.  This included publishing a list of services which were being considered for disinvestment.

This is because in 2013/14, the CCG’s financial position was in deficit by £14.5 million and a similar deficit was predicted for this financial year too. 

It was therefore decided  to take essential action to address this in order to prioritise the urgent care system, particularly during the difficult winter months, and to continue to achieve the guarantees that are made to patients in the NHS Constitution.
