After eight years our Associate GP, Dr James, has decided to leave the practice in order to pursue her career elsewhere.
We hope that Dr James' patients will continue their care with Dr Samantha Coles who is currently one of our Locum GPs.
It is sad to see her leave and we would like to thank her for all the care she has provided for our patients while wishing her our very best for the future.

Whimple Extension is now Complete!
The extension at Whimple Branch Surgery is now complete.
The surgery was re-opened to patients on Monday 5th July 2010.
There are now two extra consulting rooms, plus some additional facilities for the staff working there. We have made some basic improvements to the waiting room to bring in more light, which should be more pleasant for you while you wait for your appointment. We are also planning to install a computerised check-in screen for patients to use, which will alert the doctors and nursing staff when you arrive for your appointment.
We would like to thank you for your patience and tolerance whilst the surgery has been closed, and we are particularly thankful to Mr John Discombe and the Victory Hall Committee for their co-operation with the disruption of the car park.
To make an appointment at the Whimple Branch Surgery please telephone 01404 814447.
