Our Salaried Doctors

Dr Joanna Edwards
Dr Katherine Dixon
Dr Elizabeth Doyle
 
All patients have a named GP who is responsible for their overall care at the practice. If you don’t know who that is you can contact us to know who this is, and if you have a preference as to which GP that is, we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request. We do not restrict you to ‘only’ seeing your named GP, nor can we guarantee the availability of a specific GP on the days when you are seen.

The named accountable GP will take lead responsibility for the coordination of all services required under our contract with NHS England and ensure they are delivered to each of their patients where required (based on the clinical judgment of the named accountable GP). They will also coordinate your care with all the other providers involved in your care.

Improved Access

We are working together with other local practices to offer patients access to more appointments in the early mornings, evenings and at weekends. To find out more about these services, please contact the practice.

GP Registrar and Trainees

We are a training practice and we regularly have other Doctors training at the practice. A Registrar is a fully qualified doctor undertaking specialist vocational training as a GP and generally is with us for a 6 or 12 month period.

We also train F2 doctors from Weston General Hospital. These are qualified doctors on a 4 month rotation through various hospital posts and at this GP surgery for further training.
From time to time will be hosting visiting Medical Students.
