Reassurance from the county’s health commissioner comes after Dr Ruth Clayton and Dr Andrew Rogers, General Practitioner Partners at Dodington Surgery, announced their plans to retire at the end of March 2021.

Shropshire CCG is currently working closely with practices and partners to discuss a number of options and will be keeping the 5,000 registered patients at Dodington Surgery informed once plans have developed.

Patients will be made aware of the final plan via an official letter which will be posted out to addresses.

Help and advice is also available through the Patient Advice Liaison Service (PALS) for anyone who has queries or concerns relating to the closure. Patients should call 0800 0320897 or e-mail SHRCCG.CustomerCare@nhs.net.
