New GP - Dr Elaine Seeley

Coinciding with a change in Doctors sessions –

Dr Rivett and Dr Kasztura are going to reduce their hours starting February 9th 2018 which means Dr Rivett will not be here on a Friday and Dr Kasztura will not be here Friday afternoons – all their other sessions remain the same Monday - Thursday.

To ensure patients access to a GP continues we have taken on Dr Elaine Seeley to take over their patients on a Friday and she has many years GP surgery experience locally and an interest in diabetes management.
