After 14 years Dr Jean-Xavier Meguer will be leaving the practice to take up a position in Australia.
In his time here Dr Meguer has been a GP Partner, the lead GP for Children Safeguarding, and our Caldicott Guardian. He will be greatly missed by patients and staff alike, and we would all like wish him the very best for his new adventure in Oz.
Dr Meguer’s patient list will be looked after by the remaining GP’s until his position has been filled. The list will then automatically transfer to the new GP. If you have any concerns please speak with a member of staff.
