On Saturday 9th May some of the surgery staff are walking 20 miles from Perranporth to Devoran to raise money for The Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) ✨ (rearranged from September)

If you’re able to donate even just a few pounds it would mean so much. Every little really does help.

If you can’t donate, a share would be hugely appreciated too 🙏

Thank you so much for your support 💕

📣Welcoming Dr Lucy Collins to the Partnership Team📣

We are delighted to announce that Dr Lucy Collins has joined the partnership team at Perranporth Surgery, working alongside Dr Alex Cockcroft, Dr Sarah Wilding, Dr Ed Moore, and Dr Emma Docherty.

Many of you will already know Lucy from her time with us over the years. She first joined Perranporth Surgery as a GP Registrar, quickly becoming a highly valued member of the team. After completing her training, we were fortunate to welcome her back as a salaried GP.
Lucy’s values align closely with the ethos of Perranporth Surgery—kindness, teamwork, and a genuine dedication to patient-centred care. We know she will play a key role in helping us continue to grow and develop the practice for the benefit of our patients.

As we look ahead, we do so with real excitement. With Lucy joining the partnership, we are strengthening a team that is passionate about delivering the very best care. We remain fully committed to developing and delivering a caring, outstanding service to all who rely on us.

With new beginnings, valued legacies, and a strong sense of teamwork, we are looking forward with enthusiasm to the next chapter for Perranporth Surgery 💙

The vaccine does not protect against all HPV types, so attending cervical screening when invited is still important.
