Dr. Andrew Holman and a small number of other Newgate Street Doctors are wonderful doctors, and I would also add Dr. Poornima Prasad and Dr. James Gray , there are some excellent nurses and excellent nurse/practitioners too I could mention a number of them here. Unfortunately we now have the situation where the doctors whom we really needed to understand where we are at, and who know us well- are lost to us by this new polyclinic system. It was in the press that now that polyclinics are here with the general public all complaining of them, that the population is 13% more likely to be admitted to hospital yearly. The psychological NEED of the general public is to feel you are committed to the care of at least one doctor who you feel knows you well. This redesigning of the wheel has caused endless unnecessary build ups of pain and suffering and no wonder everyone just about - is bitterly complaining of this. Newgate Medical Group as a whole pulled out all the stops to give the COVID injections in our very over challenged town. There are many great aspects to the care at this Practice, but unless the structure returns to its previous smooth action, many more people will unnecessarily feel like 'cogs' lost in meaningless, mechanical system of non - connection.
