Welcome to Dr Dowsett & Overs 

Our Practice is highly patient focused and we have a multidisciplinary approach to patients’ health care. We aim to deliver the best for our patients by combining the skills of the Practice Team with other health and social care workers in the community.

We provide modern health care facilities and focus on continually improving the health of our patients and residents of the community.

This website is aimed at providing you with the important information about our practice, our services and our staff in addition to some other useful information and tools available for you to use. Please have a look around and send us any comments or suggestions if you like.  We can use your comments and ideas to improve our online services and develop the content of this site accordingly.

A “healthy lifestyle” is what we recommend:

Stop smoking
Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg
Exercise regularly
Keep alcohol intake within recommended limits

NAMED GP

From April 2015 all practices are required to provide all their patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.  If you don’t know who your named GP is please contact the surgery and the receptionist will be more than happy to inform you.
