Dr. Judge's Absence - Terry Pate (4th Jan 2011 - 12:14:24) The ongoing situation at Liphook Village surgery causes concern to me and a number of her patients. Here is a letter I have sent to the GMC Chief Executive. Mr Niall Dickson The Chief Executive and Registrar. The General Medical Council 350 Euston Road, London NW1 3JN. Dear Mr Dickson, Re-Dr Sangita Judge Reg. No.4298331 Dr Judge has been suspended now for some weeks. As a registered patient of hers I am perturbed by the lack of information released about the reasons for the suspension and the length of time it is taking to resolve the issues. Dr Judge is a popular GP in Liphook and I have never heard any adverse comment from anyone in the village about her, in fact all comments are very complimentary reiterating what a good GP she is. I and many other of her patients have major concerns about the consequences of her absence from the practise. I particularly refer to those patients who have complicated health issues where her competence and long standing knowledge of the individual helps to provide the correct treatment. I would appreciate if the charge against her was made public as I believe her patients have a right to know, whether it be serious or trivial. I also think that the time being taken by the GMC in this case seems to be lengthy and in the meantime her patients are suffering. Can the case be expedited? I look forward to your comments. I am aware of the petition but does anyone have any more information other than that published in the Liphook Herald.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - S.Read (4th Jan 2011 - 13:20:38) Totally agree with the posted letter, there are 8 members of my family who are with Dr.Judge and have received no official notification about the situation and exactly what is going on. In my opinion she was the one shinning light in an otherwise poor practice. Having myself been diagnosed with a serious illness nearly 9 months ago, Dr Judge has since and always demonstrated a diligent professional attitude and ability second to none. I hope for whatever reason this sorry saga is quickly resolved and she returns to the practice, there are many rumours about what has happened, the petition has been duly signed by all family members and in accordance with the above poster its about time we where given an explanation. However the lack of information regarding her existing patients and the fact that we only heard about it through reading the Herald does not surprise me in the least. We originally had a post about this situation early in December, but we were asked by the surgery to remove it to prevent embarrassment, which we did.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - J Gard (4th Jan 2011 - 13:48:08) Sorry can't agree with S Read about a poor practice. I was so impressed with their out of hours service on New Years Eve when my 10 month old grand-daughter had an accident and needed to be checked over. We couldn't face a trip to Guildford A&E so phoned the surgery at 6.15, told to ring another number..very helpful lady said my GP would ring back and thankfully Dr Hobbs did just that and arranged to meet parents and child ( not even a registered patient) at the surgery at 7pm.... How impressive is that and many many thanks for such a good service.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - T hall (4th Jan 2011 - 20:23:35) I totally disagree with J Gard. I have a 2yr old daughter that was very poorly last month, my daughter had a mouth full of ulcers and a sore throat plus she wasn't eating or drinking nor had she had a wet nappy for over 24hrs (I told the gp this), i took her to see a GP at liphook surgery, the only thing he did was check her temp, he didn't look in her mouth or check in her ears and told me she had a viral infection, I was totally horrified. I came home and phoned Newtown surgery and explained to them my daughters symptoms, she was seen within an hour of my call and checked over properly and given medication to treat the ulcers and the illness she had which wasn't a viral infection. We have changed doctors now.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Stephen (5th Jan 2011 - 08:20:36) I fully support Dr Judge along with hundreds maybe thousands of other people in Liphook. I think she is an extremely professional doctor. When members of my family have been to see her, they all say how good she is,being knowledgeable, sincere and really helpful. They have always been given very good treatment. I will be writing to the address on the petition. I went to the surgery and found out that my doctor was not who I thought it was. There had been no information to say doctors had been changed. You should check if you are worried. I think this is a power struggle within the surgery, which has resulted in a non medical "stich up" to force her out of her job because she is too good for them. There seem to be some strange things going on in Liphook. It is probably people from those secret societies or organisations you hear about. As for the comment from the editor "We originally had a post about this situation early in December, but we were asked by the surgery to remove it to prevent embarrassment, which we did". This a joke as there there are dozens of posts on this site which would cause embarrassment. If you removed all of them for that reason there would be blue editor boxes all over the place. My opinion is that this all double standards and manipulation rather than effective moderation. If Dr Judge looks at this site be reassured that there is a tremendous amount of support for you in the village and beyond and I, and many others, are right behind you.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Stephania Watson. (7th Jan 2011 - 18:34:44) I am one of those patients who is totally baffled by this whole case. I have tried to get information about Dr. Judge's absence since I received a letter with no more than the fact that Dr Judge would be absent. I didn't press for informaton, as I thought of the possibility that Dr. Judge had fallen ill. or had an accident. Then I heard that Dr Judge has been suspended. As one of her first patients, and not always an easy one, I have come to appreciate her not only as a very professional doctor, but as a kind, warm, understanding human being. I wish I could do something more than write a letter. Dr. Judge deserves my sincere support, trust and admiration. I personally will speak up for Dr. Judge, if I get a chance. Stephania.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Des (7th Jan 2011 - 20:43:50) We would like to add our appreciation of what Dr Judge has done for us over the years. We moved to Liphook 10 years ago, she has always been our Doctor and we have found her to be extremely helpful, competent and sympathetic. When we book an appointment with her, we know she is going to be a little late because she always has time to talk to you as a patient, do a thorough diagnosis and listen to you, something that seems to be lacking these days at the surgery. This feeling has been echoed by many people that we have spoken to. We have not been impressed with what is happening - it does seem like a 'witch-hunt' at the surgery and as a result are registering with the Newtown Surgery. We wish Dr Judge and her family well and hope to see her back where she belongs in the near future.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - B.Joyce (8th Jan 2011 - 00:28:35) Some of the views that have been expressed here are no more than wild speculation. Talk of a ‘power struggle’ and a ‘witch hunt’ is just fanciful. The fact is nobody knows. The reason you don’t know is because the matter is effectively sub judice while the investigation continues. The GMC is a professional body which has a rigid code and procedures by which it operates. It does not suspend a doctor out of spite or malice. I have received good care from all of the doctors currently at the Village Surgery including Dr. Judge and, whatever your views about any individual doctor, it does a great disservice to all of them to make unfounded allegations. They cannot answer back. It would be wise to hold your peace and let the investigation run its course. You will know the truth soon enough. Then will be the time to decide whether to show your support for Dr. Judge. And I too hope to hear that she has been exonerated.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Sarah (8th Jan 2011 - 20:45:44) I just wanted to agree with B.Joyce's previous comments. My family has received very good care from all the doctors at the surgery for the last 4 years. We would not hesitate to see any of the doctors and I am uncomfortable with the gossipy comments on here which are essentially giving a very good practice a bad name. I have found it to be welcoming, friendly and above all very helpful in the way it has offered my family treatment. It seems wholly inappropriate for people to ask for details or essentially 'gossip' on here for what is a private matter, particularly if a patient was involved - I would imagine they would not want a public discussion of the issue and I would imagine Dr Judge herself would not appreciate such gossip. As B. Joyce mentioned there are systems in place to sort this out and hopefully the matter will be swiftly cleared up.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Des (8th Jan 2011 - 21:58:36) My views are not based on 'wild speculation', nor are they 'fanciful' - you have no idea how much I or others know about what is going on. The point 'The fact is nobody knows' is also incorrect, as people obviously do know what is happening. The problem with people 'holding their peace' is that others do not hear about what is going on and hopefully this thread of comments will enable / encourage those people to also raise their views. Also, the subject is not a private matter - it has been in the public domain (newspapers) and also discussed at Parish Council meetings. We also have had good care from the surgery - that was not the point of my post, which was to show support for a very good doctor.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Ron (1st Feb 2011 - 13:47:45) I and my family have been registered with Liphook Surgery since we moved to the village some 40 years ago. During that time there have been numerous problems and consequent changes of personnel due to unsatisfactory standards of medical care. Since the arrival of Dr Judge we have enjoyed a period of stability and an excellent standard of care given by a doctor who knows how to treat patients. She has what used to be known as an excellent "bedside manner". This has been well documented by many of her patients with whom she has spent time and taken considerable care to tailor and prescribe the correct and most effective medication. The shock waves which went through the village when she was "suspended" for some reason or reasons, so far unknown, seem to have been felt by everyone except or Parish Council. At their meeting last night they had made no provision for what was so obviously going to be a large attendance such that some people were left standing outside the building and were therefor unable to express their feelings. Not that the councillors seems particularly interested. I feel we must be indebted to "Sue" who is orchestrating the support. It is only unfgortunate that The Herald did not mention the meeting in advance Let us hope that the GMC see sense and get Dr Judge back where she rightfully belongs with a great deal of urgency as the present medical staff do not seem able to handle the simplest of matters and see a reduction in medication as a "cure all". This has caused my husband to be taken to hospital for treatment and a reinstatement of medication and myself, after much argument, re prescibed to the medication given by Dr Judge. I rest my case

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Vanessa Taylor (1st Feb 2011 - 18:54:11) Dr Judge was not actually my registered GP at the practice but I have to admit that if I could get an appointment to see her then I always did. I have a 12 year old child with complex special needs and she was always 100% supportive of his condition and also the effects that having a child such as this had on me as his mother. She has helped me through all sorts over the last 10 years and to think that I no longer have her support makes me feel not only anxious but very upset. Infact so much so that I have decided to move to another surgery where hopefully I can build up a rapport with another GP just as I did with Sangita. I have been appauled with some of the comments that I have heard from the surgery from other doctors but also the staff. A few people I know that have asked when Doctor Judge is coming back have all received the reply ''never''!!!! I think the whole thing is dreadful and having attended the local council meeting last night believe that most of Liphook feel the same. I hope something gets ressolved for Dr Judge sooner rather than later. Mrs V Taylor

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Robert Douglas (2nd Feb 2011 - 08:31:59) What has any of this got to do with the Parish Council? Heavens above, they're patently incompetent at doing what they're supposed to do without expecting them to get involved in things which are none of their business! "General Medical"/"Parish" - spot the difference.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Dee (2nd Feb 2011 - 15:26:53) Hi I thought Dr Judge was voted on to the Council at the last election. I also am a patient of hers, thinking of moving surgery. When will we her patients and the people that voted her on the council be informed as to exactley what is going on. The council seem to be doing an impression of an ostritch, head in sand etc!! Dee Just to clarify the situation with regard to posts on this site, which I believe was discussed at the Council meeting on the 31st January. When Dr Judge first 'disappeared' I accepted a couple of posts asking questions about her whereabouts. I was then contacted by the Surgery and requested to remove the posts to prevent embarrassment to all concerned - which could also have included patients. I therefore complied by removing them. There is a note at the start of this thread briefly explaining the situation. Once the issue was more 'public' I started accepting posts again. Anyone that had a rejected post was advised why it had not been accepted. I am not an institution - this site is run purely in spare 'hobby' time by a Liphook resident for the benefit of Liphook. Alan

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - B (2nd Feb 2011 - 18:56:35) www.gmc-uk.org/concerns This web link may give information people are looking for when any information is released by the GMC. Name JUDGE, Sangita Reference No. 4298331 Field of practice General Practice Area of registered address Surrey Type of order The IOP determined to make an interim order of suspension from 29 November 2010 for a period of 18 months, subject to review.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - susan pledger (3rd Feb 2011 - 20:08:39) Hello everyone, I tried to inform all that read this site in Dec about Dr Judges plight, but I was stricken from the site, I believe it is time now their is so much speculation, to allow those that were not at the council meeting or could not get in & those we are asking for support for our GP. Dr Judge who has put so much into the village and helped so many people it is about time we stopped and looked at what has transpired over the last year. What other GPs, do you know that would have caused such an overwelming reponse of love and appreciation. No-one saying other docters are unable, but the feeling we have over Dr Judge is passionate. If you read the liphook herald this week you will be told alittle more about her situation, however no-one not even Dr Judge can tell you what she has been accused off. What ever the other GPs were copying behind her back or when on leave is entirely(quote from Herald) their knowledge & has not been released, I know this is quite unbelieveable but it is the truth. The very reason for this is that they do not want the public to know that this could well be a ??, to allow the remaining GPs to invoke the contact/deeds of the surgery, her Husband says in the herald, to allow them to expell Dr Judge and cause the pain we her patients are feeling. When she is re-instated of which their is no doubt of, if she is prevented from practicing in the liphook village surgery, we as an Action Group will make provision for Dr Judge to practice still in liphook as the need for her is so great. Dr Judge was about to finish her fellowship qualifications, but just before she took her last exam the first lot of complaints from the surgery came in. This prevented her taking this exam which now looks like someone or somebody did not want her to complete this very difficult and highly regarded qualification. It is a very sad and childish thing to do as is the rest. If anyone thinks its not possible to use or abuse the Local Medical Council or indeed the General Medical Council they are unfortunatly wrong. Lets hope that truth and honesty prevail and Dr Judge is back where she belongs as soon as possible.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - veronica (4th Feb 2011 - 23:31:02) i only hope the herald will do a write up in the paper to let people know of the next coucil meeting concerning dr Judje so every one is aware and if they choose to attend Also a bigger room is put in place by the councellors for everyone can get in and sit to air there views instead of out in the street. this is a very seriouse matter so I hope that all the people that truely believe in dr judje will attend yet againin suporting her and show the village how much we want her back here in liphook surgery we al truely miss her and want her back in liphook doing the job she is so brilliant at and want her back soon infact we want her back NOW

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - veronica (6th Feb 2011 - 19:49:32) I very sorry about the letter above,the spelling and lay out s a lot to be desired. It goes to show though that these letters are not a fix ,giving old age pensioners like me a chance to have a say.on coucill matters and Dr Judje.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - helen (7th Feb 2011 - 01:15:22) I am not a patient of Dr Judge so cannot comment on this but I do not see what it has to do with the parish Council? what influence do you seriously think they could have with the GMC? If this is a question of her medical judgement, how would they know anyhing about it? The reason for her suspension has not been published it is mere supposition. It is laudable that she has so much support from her patients, but the GMC surely deal in hard facts only, not whether or not the parish council think she she is a popular doctor. investigaton that is not evidence

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Michael (7th Feb 2011 - 09:26:30) helen, after reading everything i dont think it is the council trying to get involved, i believe it is some parishoners trying to make them take sides and voice opinions. We recieved a photo copied note through our letter asking us to go and protest at the council offices to get Dr Judge reinstated even though it is nothing to do with them. Surely people should be protesting to the G M C. Not everyone in the village may want her back. P.S. She is our family GP AND WE DEFINATLEY WANT HER BACK.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Robbie S (9th Feb 2011 - 16:32:52) Can anybody tell me why Dr Judge's name has been removed from the Liphook Village Surgery website? Surely innocent until proven guilty is as valid within the medical profession as anywhere else and to the best of my knowledge she has not up until now not been "charged" with any offence. When Dr Judge is finally vindicated will she return to the surgery or be forced to practice elsewhere possibly seeing only "private" patients? Who and how many are on the "Action Group" and where can they be contacted.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - mrs susan pledger (9th Feb 2011 - 18:01:29) To everyone concerned about Dr Judge. The contact number for: The Dr Judge Action Group number is 07767818595 Please feel free to contact this number There are many Facts to be shared, not speculation as the saying goes "the truth will out" I look forward to speaking to anyone who wants to help or just to be supportive of our primary cause to get the speedy return of Dr Sangita Judge. Sue

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Rosemary Allen (28th Feb 2011 - 00:04:13) I am in full support of Dr Judge and want her re-instated at the surgery. She has been the only doctor I have wanted to see at the surgery for many years. Her absolute professional care and expert knowledge and total understanding of her patients is a blessing to behold in this day and age of pack em in get em out with as little cost to the surgery as possible attitude !! I have lived in Liphook for 30 years and always used this practice originally seeing good doctors like Jean Cummings then Coope, Walters and Neville-Towell so Dr Judge was naturally for me another good professional. It stinks what has happened to her and the GMC need to work swiftly to sort this sorry mess out. Sangita Judge is innocent and will be completely exonerated of any wrong doing I'm sure.

Re: Dr. Judge's plans - sue pledger (1st Mar 2011 - 05:46:52) Hello everybody I have some news that will hopefully allievate a huge amount of people in the village. DR Sangita Judge has not retired from being a GP She is very much still a GP and is champing at the bit to get back to work, to see us all again and to put right the wrongs etc. She has only (so called) retired from Liphook Village Surgery it sound better that kicked out by your so called Partners does it not. We are at present "The Action Group" looking at alterative arrangements once she is back ie Building from which she can Practice from. According to this contract she can not work outside a five mile radis of LVS, but I believe this can and should be circumvented some how ideas please. We could do with some ideas and where we could set her up. Yours Sue Pledger (action group message) This will be a practice from the people by the people etc

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Helen M (1st Mar 2011 - 09:21:13) Sue, I can't quite understand your post... what contract? why can she not practise more than 5 miles away from LVS? Who says? why is she tied to LVS if she has been booted out? PLLEEASe re-read it before posting as i am even more confused than before, granted its easy to confuse me at the moment - 3 kids on half term will do that. Also, do you have more info on WHY she was booted out? I want to support her but all i feel i can do is support her as a person, not as a doctor until we know what happened. I used Dr. judge and she was FANTASTIC but i cannot ask for her to be re-instated as a dr. until we know why she was ousted in the first place. Many people feel the same. when is the next decision date for Dr. Judge?

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - marian (1st Mar 2011 - 11:40:00) I would be very interested if, Sue (Pledger) you could make clear whether you are expressing your own views with regards to Dr. Judge or are you her appointed representative? I am one of Dr. Judge's patients and have the greatest respect for her ability - but I do wonder whether you are helping or hindering her cause although obviously you have worked extremely hard with the petition on Dr. Judge's behalf.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Eneida (1st Mar 2011 - 19:30:38) Sue, You say in your last post that "according to this contract she cannot work outside a 5 miles radius of LVS" ....are you sure you've got this the right way round?? In my experience, contracts with this sort of clause, usually say "someone cannot work WITHIN a certain mileage" of their previous employment...which, if I'm right, would put Dr Judge outside Liphook!!

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - helen (1st Mar 2011 - 22:19:25) I also do not understand sue's posting, it is my understanding that GPs surgeries and practices are owned by the doctors and have a large monetary retirement value. The premises are owned by the doctors and form part of their retirement funds if the premises are sold. Perhaps there is more to the whole business than meets the eye.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - sue pledger (2nd Mar 2011 - 16:03:29) In responce to Helen Mairen,and Eneida Sorry about the message which should read that in the contract the surgery can inforce her to not be able to work within a five mile radius of liphook village surgery as you quite rightly pointed out. I am a representitive of the Action Group to return and help re-instate Dr Judge. I am a patient of hers and always will be, I do suffer from dyslexia so when I read things back to myself it does not alway flag up my mistakes but I am sure that you can understand this. We were asking for help from anyone who has any ideas as to how we set Dr Judge up in a surgery for us. So we can once again benefit from a complete professionalism rather than what we have left with in the LVS, as many peoples views are that the gps still there are not to her standard. Dr Judge would I am sure gain from any one who has any ideas on how we can get her back within this area. As she was expelled straight after she was suspended, our group believes the contract can not stand. As its known and begining to be recognised that she was a victim of her own sucess and did not know what they were up to until they had suceeded. Any help, ideas,buildings that can be used etc or people who would liked to be more involved in a new surgery for the people by the people run by the people please contact me or others in our Group. I started this Group for the good of patients and familys living in Liphook and the surrounding area. So far, and this is not complete, there are 946 signitures on the petition but there are more to be collected so feelings are running very high on this subject and I am just trying to update everyone.I do hope this is more informative for all that read it. Sue Pledger THANK YOU TO ALL THE SUPPORTERS of the PETITION

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - sue pledger (2nd Mar 2011 - 16:32:40) In reponse to Helen The liphook village surgery site is owned by Dr Nevielle-Towel and Dr Coupe, the surgery rent off of these two senior GPs that once practiced here and are held in many peoples memories. (please excuse the spelling) Sue

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - sue pledger (23rd Mar 2011 - 12:44:54) DR JUDGE HAS BEEN RE INSTATED AS OF THE 28TH OF MAY Well done all those people out there that signed and supported DR SANGITA JUDGE she had all of us behind her and will be back for us as soon as is humanly possible. Well Done Dr Judge for never losing hope and being true to yourself and family your extended family now await your return. On a personal note I would like to thank everyone who has taken time out to support Dr Judge and I am possitive she appreciates everything we have done. Those of you that want her back in Liphook Village Surgery will have to send a message to those who caused this injustice. Maybe those responsible will pack up and leave as most people have requsted them to do. GMC 'conditions' can be found by checking her registration status (4298331) at www.gmc-uk.org - main one is - 6. a. She must confine her medical practice to general practice training posts where her work will be supervised by a named GP Trainer, as agreed with the Wessex Deanery and Hampshire PCT. b. She must seek a report from her supervisor(s) for consideration by this Panel, prior to any review hearing of this Panel.

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Dawn Hoskins (23rd Mar 2011 - 13:45:21) So, are we allowed to know what she was accused of now?

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - graeme (23rd Mar 2011 - 14:49:50) Dawn You appear to be one of the most poisonous people in Liphook. Have you got nothing better to do than assassinate everybody of anY standing in the village. If she's your doctor then move to another village where I'm sure everyone wil be glad to make your acquaitance....NOT!!!

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Dee McGrath (23rd Mar 2011 - 15:57:57) Well Some one obviously got out of the wrong side of bed!! Simple If you dont like the web site dont look at it. Well done to the editor, Dawn and every one else. Keep up the good work Dee x

Re: Dr. Judge\\\'s Absence - Dawn Hoskins (23rd Mar 2011 - 20:31:15) Graeme, I have never said a bad word about Dr Judge - Ever. I have supported Sue in her campaigning and sought to know the truth that was being held secret. I do not condone bullying in any shape or form and have always stood up to the truth. What makes you think that I am against Dr Judge when I have never ever raised (or even thought) any such thing? I would still like to know what the accusations were that Dr Judge has had to fight against. does that make me poisonous? Who are you any way?

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Dawn Hoskins (24th Mar 2011 - 17:10:08) I have re-read the post by Graeme which I discovered last night, just in case I might have got the wrong end of the stick or something. However, it appears that I read it correctly the first time and that this Graeme person has used two different threads regarding Dr Judge to try to upset me. I would very much appreciate it if you either [are] Graeme or [know] Graeme if you would kindly inform me what I have done or said about this matter which is offensive to anyone; and why my name has 'popped up' all of a sudden in this entirely unacceptable fashion. It is all a mystery to me - but perhaps someone else might be able to explain matters?

Re: Dr. Judge's Absence - Karina Giffard (19th Aug 2011 - 13:23:13) I am very surprised as I have just tried to book an appointment with my trusted GP Dr Judge and was told she is still not back! Weeks and weeks ago I read that she had been exonerated by the GMC and would be re-instated at Liphook Surgery. Can anyonme trell me where Dr Judge is practising these days please? This is what I wrote to the GMC on 21st February 2011: General Medical Council Regent Place 350 Euston Rd London NW1 3JN Dear Sirs, DR SANGITA JUDGE OF SHIPHOUSE SURGERY LIPHOOK HANTS I am writing to you to express my dismay at the suspension of Dr Judge from the Shiphouse Surgery and disbelief that this kind and conscientious doctor could have possibly done anything unprofessional. I have been Dr Judge’s patient for a number of years and was always prepared to wait for a week or two until I could achieve an appointment with her if there were none available at a short notice, as she is such a popular practitioner. Dr Judge has been treating me for high blood pressure and for many months she delayed prescribing medication advising me to change my lifestyle, etc. However, since she started prescribing me the combination of tablets I am currently taking, she invited me for regular checks of blood pressure, kidney function (for any side effects of the medication), glucose tolerance etc. She also advised me with regard to diet and exercise to avert any further complications later. I could not fault Dr Judge’s professionalism: she has always been very pleasant, patient and sympathetic. As a patient I never felt rushed, she always showed genuine interest in anything related to my health. Since Dr Judge left the surgery, I had one impersonal invite to have my blood pressure checked by the practice nurse. Dr Judge would have invited me to come and see her to review my medication by now. I miss Dr Judge’s friendly yet thorough approach and wish to see her reinstated at the surgery as soon as possible. I would be prepared to give any testimony required to help get my GP back.
