Three new consultation rooms have opened at The Cranborne Practice in Verwood.
The facility is using space previously occupied by the Pharmacy, which has now moved to Manor Road.
Additional GPs has also been recruited at the growing practice.
Cranborne Practice says the additional facilities will “significantly increase the capacity to provide face-to-face appointments and help reduce waiting times”.
Members of the Patient Participation Group were invited to open the rooms officially.
Commenting on the new rooms, Managing Partner Jo Morris said: “We constantly look at opportunities to improve patient care. We are pleased to invest in our community and create three new consultation rooms.
“These will provide more face-to-face GP appointments and enable us to provide a wider range of health care services for local people.”
Chair of the Practice’s Patient Participation Group, Julie Saunders, says of the developments: “From a patient perspective, we are pleased to see The Cranborne Practice increasing their capacity to deliver healthcare and the benefits from the additional face-to-face GP appointments available.”
