Having worked with John for a couple of years in Sandbach, I know he’s a great GP and a lovely person. He was well respected by our patients and well respected by the clinical team as a caring, knowledgeable, hard working doctor. I know John will have set up his services in harmony with the local GP services and as a NHS GP I wish we had some private providers around us as good and as caring as John and Heather. I think there is a role for private practice that runs along side NHS GP and John’s model is perhaps one that might spread.
