Cheerio ! Many of you will already be aware that Dr SIMON ELLIS retired on 31st March 2013. He has been part of the team here at Northgate and Watling Street Surgery (for those of you who can remember that far back), for almost 30 years. He was pivotal in the design and build of Canterbury's largest Medical Practice. I trust you will join us in wishing him a very healthy and happy retirement.

Welcome! Dr Andrew Charley who joined us on 1 April 2013 as an Associate GP. Dr Charley is an experienced family GP with an interest in Ophthalmology.
