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
