Welcoming new GP to Charnwood Surgery, Linkfield Road, Mountsorrel
April 2018 saw both of our doctors retire from the Practice. Dr Darji left to conquer new Lands Down Under and Dr Hirani retired after over 30 years of service. We would like to thank them both for their service to the practice and community and wish them both the best for their futures.
With the old guard leaving, we have had 3 new Doctors start their journey with us, with 2 of these GPs being female, a first for Charnwood Surgery.
We are pleased to have Dr. Abdulmajid as our new GP Senior Partner in the Surgery and with him is Dr. Patel as GP Partner and Dr. Chaudry who is our Salaried GP. Each of the GPs have previously worked in the Leicestershire area as and have chosen to make Charnwood Surgery their new home from February 2018.
Together they bring their experience and improvements as well as continuing the excellent access to GP and Nurse appointments that has always been available to patients here at Charnwood Surgery. Working alongside our Patient Participation Group (PPG) we hope that patients will continue to experience a good service from our reception/admin and clinical teams. The PPG is happy to receive new members and should contact the Surgery for further information.
