Holbrook and Shotley Surgery - (Shotley)


Lack of female GP

I do worry that when I'm in the queue on the phone there won't be any appointments available and there is a lack of a female GP which is a slight issue. I don't come to the surgery much, just for reviews really and I try to avoid the surgery if possible. The GP who has been seeing a relative has been great but I did feel that the diabetes advice was a bit old fashioned.
