Notice of retirement- Dr Frances Watt

I will be retiring from Poundbury Doctors Surgery on March 31st 2026.
I have been working at the surgery for the last 23 years and have been a GP partner since 2012.
I have always felt privileged to work in such a united team and I am looking forward to working in a more flexible capacity as a GP locum before full retirement.

Please be assured we are not closing down, this is a temporary move to allow us to improve the pharmacy for you. All services will continue as normal during this time.

Changes To Our Electronic Consultation System.

We are switching to a new provider for our electronic consultation system. We currently use eConsult but will be changing to SystmConnect soon.

SystmConnect is made by TPP, the same company that makes both the clinical system we use at the surgery, and SystmOnline which you may use to access our Online Services such as requesting medication or viewing your medical record.

The link to eConsult will be replaced on our website with the one for SystmConnect, please make sure you update any bookmarks you may have stored.
