The service starts next Monday, April 25th, with appointments available now for advance booking.

Dr Jason Jones will be pleased to see patients and will offer a personal and confidential service at a convenient time for patients.

Dr Jones said: “I'm very happy and excited to be joining the team at The Duchy and providing some Primary Care services.

“Being based within the hospital will also give me access to all the hospital's facilities, services and consultant colleagues.

"This should improve the patient journey if any secondary care referrals are needed.”

The Duchy’s executive director Rick Sanders added: “The private GP service is a great addition for our patients at The Duchy.

"This new service will allow patients to see a GP face to face with easy access to any diagnostic tests, scans or onward referrals that may be required.”

Appointments can be booked by calling 01423 567 136 and selecting option 4.
