On the 29th August 2012 we said goodbye to Anne Maher who retired after 30 years of service. Anne joined the practice in 1982 and in 1989 was appointed Practice Manager. During 21 years as our Practice Manager, Anne managed the many changes to patient services, staff, doctors and premises until in 2010 she retired from her role to take up a new part time role as Business Development/Project Manager. We would like to thank Anne for her longstanding commitment to the practice and our patients an we wish her a long and happy retirement.

Dr Tom Waterfall

I am very sorry to announce that I will be leaving the Coleridge Medical Centre at the end of the year. I have been offered a partnership in Moretonhampstead and have decided to take on the challenges of working in a small rural GP practice on Dartmoor. I have had a wonderful time in Ottery and will miss both the staff at the medical centre and the patients who I have got to know over the last 6 months.

The partners are currently recruiting another GP to take over when I leave and provide an excellent service for all our patients.
