Text Box: The question I am most often asked by members, new and existing, of the Network is: can you recommend a sympathetic and knowledgeable doctor?  Obviously the region is very large and I only have my own experience to go by so in the last newsletter I asked you for your recommendations and experiences to create a discreet database for the benefit of fellow members.  To date the only response I have received is from people wanting answers, not from anyone recommending their own G.P.  Is this because no one is happy with their own G.P.?  Surely someone must have something good to say about some of our medical practitioners in this region?  Please get in touch with details of the medical practitioners you try to get an appointment with and those you avoid along with where they practice to Craig Woods on 01387 811082 / craig@dgme.co.uk.
