Western Elms Surgery 317 Oxford Road, Reading RG30 1AT

LIST CLOSURE

WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT

We are sorry to advise all prospective patients that we have had to close our list with immediate effect.

 This is not a decision that we take lightly but our responsibility is to those patients who are already registered with us.

 We will be working with NHS England in the hope that measures can be taken to ensure that we open it again as soon as we can.

 Alternative surgeries are available on NHS Choices website or ask at the desk for contact details for the TVPCA who will help you register elsewhere.

 Our apologies for any inconvenience caused

DR G WILLIAMS

After thirty two years as a Partner at Western Elms,  Dr Williams is sadly retiring at the end of January 2014.  We know he will be sorely missed by staff and patients alike.

Replacing him as full-time partner on the 1st February 2014, we welcome Dr Javaria Akhter, whom many patients will already have met when she has locumed for us.  She has also been working here since the beginning of December to familiarise herself with a lot of his patients to ensure that there will be a smooth transition for all.  All patients previously registered with Dr Williams will be transferred to Dr Akhter's list from 1st February.
