We have a team of doctors, nurses and support staff committed to offering our patients the very best in Primary Healthcare. |
After 25 years working as Partners at Thurleigh Road Practice, Dr Schofield and Dr Salt will be moving on over the summer. Both would like to thank all their patients and colleagues for their support over the years and pass on their very best wishes for the future.
They feel that it has been a huge privilege to work as part of the team at Thurleigh Road and to have helped in developing the modern, friendly and innovating Practice we have today.
Nurse Practitioner, Tor Godfrey, will become a partner and we will also soon be announcing the appointment of a new GP Partner to enhance our team.
In the meantime, Drs Salt and Schofield plan to work on their individual charitable projects expedition work, volunteer in other capacities such as the refugee camps where they have worked as senior doctors in recent years and we will also hopefully still see them here at Thurleigh Road, working as locums.

At Thurleigh Road Practice, we are keen to know which of our patients are Carers. If we don't know already, please let us know on your next visit as there may be additional support and services available to you. Please speak to our Reception team or your GP/Nurse.

Who is a carer?
A Carer is someone who provides support to family or friends who could not manage without this help. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems. All the care they give is unpaid.
Anyone can becore a Carer. Carerrs come from all walks of life and can be any age: some are children and young adults. Many feel they are just doing what anyone else would do in the same situation looking after their mother, son, or best friend and just getting on with it.
