Welcome to Holsworthy Medical Centre
Holsworthy Medical Centre serves Holsworthy as well as its surrounding villages. Our team includes eight GPs, five practice nurses, two health care assistants as well as our practice manager and administrative support and reception staff.
We are responsible for advising patients on leading a healthy lifestyle as well as caring for the sick. We offer a full general practice service and run specialist clinics as indicated in this website. There is also an on-site dispensing service.
At Holsworthy Medical Centre, we aim to treat all our patients promptly, courteously and in complete confidence. We feel it is important that you know who you are speaking to, so our office staff wear a name badge and identify themselves on the telephone.
Minor Illness Clinic
We’d like to welcome Teresa North-Lewis who has joined the practice as a nurse practitioner leading our Minor Illness clinic. Many of you will know Teresa from her work with the District Nurse team.
The Minor Illness clinic is available for patients with minor illnesses such as coughs, colds, ear and chest infections, skin and urine infections and Teresa is able to prescribe medicines. Appointments at the Minor Illness clinic can be made by contacting reception.
Dr Paul Nielson
Dr Paul Nielson has decided to retire from General Practice, and we wish him well in his new ventures. Dr Alexandra Brown will be joining the practice in July to take on Dr Nielson’s patient list. Dr Brown has worked with us previously including a stint in 2009 so she may be familiar to some of our patients.
Dr Jill Knowles
We are delighted to announce the safe arrival of Dr Jill Knowles’ baby, Eva, in March 2012 and look forward to Dr Knowles coming back from maternity leave in the winter. During Dr Knowles Maternity Leave Dr Jane Weldon and Dr Fiona de Ferrars will be looking after her patients.

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. We have now analysed the results, discussed them with the Patient Group and agreed a plan to address issues identified via the survey.
