Partnership Update

Update on Partnership – we are delighted to announce that we have two new partners joining the surgery as of 1st June. Our very own Dr Lesley Blackwood will move from her salaried role to partner. Lesley is well known to patients, having been at Carolside for a number of years, both initially as a trainee GP and more latterly as a salaried doctor. She is held in high regard by patients and staff alike. We are also delighted to announce that Dr Guy Rughani, who assisted us during Dr Stafford’s absence, will also leave his current post and become a partner at the practice. During his short time with us he has quickly become a well-liked, respected and popular GP and brings experience from a number of settings. In a climate where we hear of increasing challenges for surgeries and a shortage of GPs, we are delighted to be able to announce two strong additions to the partnership team. I have no doubt you will make them feel very welcome.
