Contributor: Rebecca Leech, Assistant Practice Manager It’s been some time since the Surgery provided an update, and this is the first since I took over as Practice Manager earlier last year. Much hard work has been going on behind the scenes and I would like to bring you up to date with what we have achieved. The Practice went through a period of flux, with a number of familiar faces, both clinical and non-clinical, moving to pastures new and this in turn meant we had to utilise locum clinicians to ensure we continued to provide medical services for our patients. Whilst these clinicians plugged the gap, we fully appreciate that continuity of care was lost when having to use locum staff. I am delighted to say we are now back to full staffing levels, having secured the services of two new salaried GP’s, Dr. Staliuniene, working 8 sessions/week and Dr. Kemp who is working 4 sessions/week and GP provision is further supplemented by Dr. Mehrotra, a long-term locum, who is working 6 session
