Otford Medical Practice has some sad news to announce. Dr Rhiannon Corke will be leaving the surgery at the end of December. We wish her and her family the very best for the future and would like to thank her for all her hard work and dedication to the practice and patients of Otford and Kemsing over the last 10 years.

She has asked us to pass on this message:

“My time at Otford is sadly coming to an end as I am leaving Kent to move closer to family in Sussex. I have been at the practice for almost 10 years and despite the challenges the NHS has faced during that period I will be leaving with fond memories. There is a great team spirit at Otford and I wish the partners, the manager Sam and all of the rest of our hard-working staff and our lovely patients the very best.”
