Private GP group expands into Derbyshire

Dr Karl Braine and Dr Simon Gillson

A private GP group is set to launch a new service across Derbyshire next month.

Concierge Medical, which has services in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, is expanding into Derbyshire in response to the growing demand in the county – and already has two Derbyshire GPs on board.

With more than 1,500 patients already using its member-only service, Concierge Medical, which was established in 2013, will offer a seven-day, home-visiting GP service, focussing largely around rural areas across the county and promoting a return to the “old-fashioned” family doctor relationship.

The company is led by medical directors Dr Karl Braine and Dr Simon Gillson.

Braine said: “We’re delighted to be offering individuals and businesses across Derbyshire the very best in healthcare.”

Delivering the Concierge Medical services in the county will be Dr Sasha Wheatcroft and Dr Jenny Thornhill who, between them, boast more than 23 years in General Practice and are both Derbyshire born and bred.

Wheatcroft said: “Jenny and I are excited to be able to champion Concierge Medical’s ethos and are looking forward to working in an environment that engenders the doctor-patient relationship in which we know our patients and they know us.”
