The Circus has arrived!

Please give yourself a little more time to get to your appointment at the Dorchester branch, as parking may be a little trickier over the next few days while the Circus is on the Great Field.

Thank you!

🚴‍♀️ Wishing the very best of luck to our wonderful GP, Dr Mamia Japaridze Richards, who, along with four fellow cyclists, is taking on the incredible challenge of cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats – over 1,000 miles, as we speak!!

They're riding to raise funds for Archie's Warriors, a charity that is especially close to our hearts. Archie was one of our patients, and his legacy lives on through this amazing charity, which creates "Memories for Life" for children in long-term hospital care across Dorset and Hampshire. By providing special experiences and moments of joy, Archie's Warriors helps bring hope, happiness, and lasting memories to children and their families during some of their most difficult times.

This is an enormous physical and mental challenge, and we're incredibly proud of Dr Richards and the whole team for supporting such a meaningful cause.

If you're able to, we'd love for you to support them by making a donation. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help Archie's Warriors continue making a real difference to local children and their families.

💙 Donation link: https://www.archieswarriors.com/donate-to-archie-s-warriors

Please join us in wishing them safe travels, strong legs, and the very best of luck on every mile of their journey! 🚴👏

There are exciting changes happening at our Portesham branch, and they start from 11th May!

We are having renovation work done to improve the surgery. The work will be undertaken in phases, with phase 1 impacting the waiting room, which will therefore be closed.

Once you have checked in for your appointment, we'd ask you to wait outside or in your car if possible. There will be limited seating available, for those who require it, inside in front of the dispensary.

Thank you for your patience and continued support as we make these positive changes to your surgery.
