GP NEWS

We are very pleased to welcome Dr Andy Noden as our new salaried GP. Andy will be familiar to some patients as he has been with us for a number of months already. He will be providing an additional 6 sessions, working Mondays, Tuesday and Fridays.

We also welcome Dr Danny Whiting, our Foundation Stage 2 GP in training. Danny already has a wealth of experience gained through his training in the GP practice and at Great Western Hospital. Danny will be providing short surgeries for patients initially with the back up of one of our partners. The practice has recently established itself as a GP training practice and we hope Danny will be the first trainee GP of many that pass through our doors.
