Drs Thomas, Rutland, Smith, Bayley & Snell

 

May we take this opportunity of welcoming you to our practice. This practice is a partnership. The intention of this website is to make you aware of the services provided by the practice so that you may use them to your best advantage. It will also help us if you are familiar with our guidelines regarding repeat prescriptions, etc.

LILLIPUT SURGERY HISTORY

The practice was formed in 1974 when Dr Bryan Goodrich joined Dr Frederick Rutland. In 1978 Dr Geoffrey Walder joined the practice, followed by Dr John Buckmaster in 1981.

We moved to the Elms Avenue site in 1985. One year later the Partnership grew again when Dr Susan Thomas was appointed. With the continuing increase in patient numbers and pressure on the provision of Primary Health Care, Dr Andrew Rutland joined in 1996. In March 2000, Dr Goodrich retired from General Practice, and we were joined in April of that year by Dr Tanya Smith. Towards the end of 2003 Dr Buckmaster left the practice (heading to the Western Isles of Scotland as a single-handed practitioner), paving the way for Dr Karen Bayley to join the Partnership in October 2003.

In January 2007, following many years of planning, we moved into temporary accommodation whilst the original building was demolished to make way for a new purpose-built surgery.

The new building was completed in May 2008, allowing us to accommodate the ever changing needs of General Practice in the 21st Century.

In November 2009 Dr Walder retired after 31 years at the surgery.  He was replaced by Dr Jonathan Snell.

PRACTICE AIMS

The aim of the practice is to provide the best possible general practice service to our patients. In order to achieve this we will:

  • Provide care in accordance with the practice charter, the Dorset Health Authority and the national patient’s charter. We are part of Bournemouth and Poole Teaching Primary Care Trust and contribute to their Health Improvement Plan.
  • Liaise with our patients, colleagues and other agencies.
  • Develop management systems which allow us to monitor the quality delivered and also to identify the health needs of the community.
  • Provide appropriate training to the practice staff, both medical and clerical.

EQUIPMENT FUND

Occasionally the practice receives donations or bequests. Sometimes these gifts are for designated purposes. Any donation which does not have a specific purpose will be allocated to our equipment fund. The fund is largely maintained by the doctors and used for the purchase of new equipment to enhance the service to our patients.

SMOKING

Smoking is not permitted on practice premises.

DOGS

No dogs except guide dogs for the hearing/blind are permitted on practice premises.
