RETIREMENTS AND WELCOME

We are pleased to welcome Dr Andy Schofield who has recently joined the practice following Dr Katy Hill’s retirement at the end of July. Dr Schofield has surgeries at both Weedon and Greens Norton. We are also pleased to report that we have secured the services of Dr Alice Lenton, who is our locum doctor at Weedon surgery, following the retirement of Dr Eirwen Williams at the end of October. Dr Lenton is working on a regular basis offering surgeries on Mondays and Tuesdays.

On behalf of the whole practice we say goodbye and thank you to Katy and Eirwen, they are sadly missed by patients and staff and we would like to wish them both a happy and healthy retirement.

Dr Neal Kennedy joined us this month as our GP Registrar replacing Dr Chandra Rai. Dr Kennedy is a fully qualified doctor and will be working with us until March 2016 at Weedon surgery.

We are pleased to have appointed Alison Shariat to join our Nursing team at Weedon. Alison is an Advanced

Nurse Practitioner. Alison will work alongside the Doctors and can see patients with common conditions such as minor illnesses, family planning, asthma reviews, hypertension and can prescribe medication. Alison is available for appointments four days a week.
