"Too many locums"

We are pleased to let you know that the practice appointed two new salaried GPs from 1st September - Dr Karl Roberts and Dr Shona Biggart. They are both building up their lists of regular patients. In common with most GPs they work part time - 5 and 4 sessions per week respectively - on regular days each week. This is an important step in being able to improve on continuity of care for our patients. We have other GPs who also provide regular sessions at the practice, including Dr Shoba Poduval (a fellow from UCL), Dr Ajay Bassi and Dr Richard Dawson. This means that ad hoc locum GPs are primarily employed to cover GPs when they are on leave or attending important meetings and courses.
