You may have recently had a message about a new Blood pressure monitoring app LUSCII which would replace the VISO app. Please ignore this messsage.

The surgery will no longer be supporting the use of apps for remote monitoring of high blood pressure (hypertension) at home.

Instead, we will be using blood pressure (BP) diary sheets, which are available at reception. Patients will be asked to monitor their blood pressure every six months, unless advised otherwise by a clinician.

If you have any questions, please speak to a member of the team.

We are delighted to announce Dr Niall Dermody will be joining us permanently Mondays and Thursdays from the beginning of March as a salaried GP. This will be in addition to our current GP offer.

We are also very lucky to have Dr Kenneth Onwuachu who will be with us until Spring of 2027 as he completes his GP training.
We hope you will join us in giving them both a very warm Puddletown welcome

If you’ve used the Maternity Matters website before, you’ll now find Dorset maternity information on the Healthier Together website.

This brings pregnancy, baby and children’s health advice together in one place, making it easier to find and keep up to date.
