ATTENTION ALL NEW PATIENTS WISHING TO REGISTER WITH ST. JOHNS

Unfortunately, due to a reduction in the number of whole time equivalent GPs available, it has been decided that it is not possible to accept new patients. This is a temporary measure and is designed to protect the quality of the service offered to existing patients and to protect the well being of the staff. We are trying to recruit more clinical staff and hope to open our list again shortly.

There are exceptions to this decision not to accept new patients which are as follows:

• new babies
• residents entering Gloucester House Nursing Home
• any visiting relative or friend at the same address of an existing patient may be treated for an acute illness as a temporary resident

If you have just moved to the area and have a mobility problem, please write to the Practice Manager.

The surgeries nearest St. Johns accepting new patients are:

• Town Medical Centre
• South Park Surgery
