We are a friendly practice which has been run from this address since 1968. Before that, the practice had been run by Dr Hunt from 144 London Road, since it started in 1946. He was succeded by Dr Tom Fyfe, and in 1947 he was joined by Dr William Murray.
1948 saw the start of the National Health Service. Later the practice grew, to include Dr Duncan MacNair and Dr Paula Lees, and then Dr Garvin Falkus joined the practice in 1978.
Dr Nicholas Taylor replaced Dr Murray in 1983, and Dr Karen Carr replaced Dr Lees in 1990. Dr Duncan Macnair retired 1993, and was replaced by Dr Iain Jarvis in 1994.
Evening and weekend work was handed over to GDoC in 1997, until this was taken over by the PCT out of hours service in 2005.
Dr Falkus retired in 2006, and Dr Taylor in March 2009. Dr Kenny Gilroy also left our Practice in August 2011. We are hopeful that with our new team, with Dr Fergusson-Wood who joined us in July 2008, Dr Ros Gregg in May 2009 and Dr Rukmal Gomes who joined us in November 2011, the Practice will go from strength to strength.
Practice management is provided by Mr Phil Mellis, supported by a team of receptionists and administrators.
Our nursing team is headed by Sister Di Newman, who triages appointment requests most mornings, and manages our diabetic clinics; Sister Janie Giles manages most of the heart and respiratory disease as well as her general nursing duties. They are ably assisted by treatment room nurses Tiffany Veitch & Vicky Knight, and health care assistant Kim Peacey.
