Upcoming GP leave

Some of our GPs are taking leave in June and July - see their dates below

A reminder too that Dr Foster and Dr Gibson have both reduced their hours recently:

  • Dr Foster now works Wed, Thurs, Fri only

  • Dr Gibson now works Mon (1/2 day), Tues, Wed (1/2 day), Thurs only 

  • Dr Christopher Veal works as a locum on behalf of Dr Foster every Tuesday and on behalf of Dr Gibson every Friday

Many of our patients will have noticed that it's particularly difficult to get an appointment with Dr Foster and Dr Gibson at the moment; this is partially because they have each reduced their hours, and Dr Foster and Dr Gibson encourage you to see Dr Veal in particular if you're unable to get an appointment with them soon enough (though you're also welcome to see one of our other practitioners). As their permanent locum, Dr Veal works very closely with both Dr Foster and Dr Gibson to help maintain continuity of care.
