Around 9,800 patients are being given the chance to have a joint virtual meeting with their new doctors next week.
An invitation letter from Linda Binney, head of NHS Dumfries and Galloway’s Primary Care Services, landed on the doormats of all those registered at both Lockerbie Medical Practice and Moffat Surgery, at the weekend.
Dr Azhar Ali, Dr Usman Rehman and Dr Rameshwer Lal of The Lanarkshire Medical Group – who already provide services in a number of board areas – are to take over the provision of services for both GP surgeries from April 1.
