Doctors
We are a training practice and are joined by fully qualified Doctors from the hospital for six to twelve months at a time. They see the difference between hospital and general practice and we all benefit from their particular skills, experience and knowledge of new advances. They are very capable Doctors so please consult them as you would your usual Doctor.
