Richard loved meeting the team at Weardale Practice.
Dr Tom Rowley and Practice Manager Kati Makepeace showed Richard around and introduced him to lots of the team, including some who have worked there for many years!
Richard comments:
"It was reassuring to hear that the surgeries in St John’s Chapel and in Wolsingham are operating with GPs there several times a week as well as the main Stanhope surgery. It was particularly impressive to meet one of the junior doctors who are trainee GPs and good to see that work going on in our area.
"Good to hear their concerns too, especially regarding how to get and keep more female doctors in general practice. I’ll be taking a lot of what they told me back to Parliament and raising it in the coming weeks and months."
