Report
I had my Booster done by a nurse called Sarah A BIG THANK YOU TO HER.IT WAS SO SO SMOOTH AND NO PAIN AT ALL AND AFTER. I ASKED HER TO ASPERATING TO CHECK NO BLOOD BUT SHE HAD TO ASK THE DOCTOR FIRST. "WHY" ????? It's the Safest Old way of doing an injection. There is a very very very small chance of going into a blood vein. But why take the risk of getting a heart attack or clot to the heat or legs. The report are OUT THERE. The whole of Denmark have gone back to the old way of doing it. Why not US. My Local Doctor's. This sounds weird but it's a Great Lively Place. "Wheelchair Ramp from Car

As a care home manager for the elderly, I have regular contact with the surgery for my Residents. We have a regular G.P that comes up to us each week to review our Residents. Nothing is ever too much effort, even the smallest of concerns. Prescription
Scripts are always done efficiently and I am always grateful for the support that we receive to ensure our Residents receive the best medical care.
For the size of the town that the surgery are covering, including Dawlish Warren , I feel the Doctors work extremely hard . Thank-you to all, including the receptionist who are always helpful to follow
