IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MEVAGISSEY SURGERY

News - 10 May 2019

A patient letter has been circulated with regard to Dr James at the surgery.

"Dear patient,

We are writing to tell you that Dr James has formally let us know she will end her contract to provide all GP services at Mevagissey Surgery on 31 July 2019. You do not need to take any action now – It will be business as usual at the surgery, and you are advised to continue using your GP surgery as normal.

As joint commissioners, NHS England & NHS Improvement and NHS Kernow Clinical Commissioning Group, have a responsibility to make sure GP care is available to all and we are working closely to look at alternative options for patients of Mevagissey Surgery.

We will work with patients, the wider community and other health and care services, to identify what services the local area needs for the future.

In the meantime, we want to understand how this could impact you so please take the time to complete this online survey from Wednesday 15 May:
