Dr Jenkins Retirement
Dear Patients
This June our Senior Partner Dr Neale Jenkins retired after 27 Years here at Orchid House L
Dr Jenkins would like to thank you all for all the kind wishes, cards and gifts. He was particulalry moved by the messages you wrote for him in the memory book and so far he is about a quarter of the way through.
Dr Balachandran has taken over Dr Jenkins partnership and patient list.
Despite the difficulties of finding replacement GPs these days we are also very pleased to inform you that Dr Issabella Beale is joining us as a 6 session salaried GP on 10th September 2018
We have also employed a Clinical Pharmacist Robert Harvey to help with the workload.
This will mean a change to the way we triage on the day urgent calls but rest assured that we will be working hard to ensure that you are able to see a Clinician if required on the day.
Normal pre bookable appointments will remain the same.
There is also a pilot scheme being run by our locality where by we are able to offer a small amount of alternate GP appointments at local hospitals, Wimborne, Poole and Bournemouth, if we are unable to see you here.
