A
Practice With A History
It is forty
years since a Newport doctor's practice hit the national headlines.
The furore blew up because at that time unsightly telegraph poles
were not allowed on council estates and the St Julians Practice
started up by Dr John E Lloyd was refused planning permission for
a telegraph pole outside the surgery. It became known as the "practice
without a phone" but after the local and national press stepped
in with headlines like "No pole, no doc!" all became sweetness
and light and a phone was installed.
Permission
had been granted to develop a new general practice in the St Julians
area and Dr Lloyd rented a council house in Worcester Crescent but
within two years the facilities proved inadequate and a new house
was built in Beaufort Road, St Julians. Dr David Davies had now
joined the team to meet the demands of the new practice but accommodation
was often so inadequate that patients sat on the grass outside to
wait their turn.
It was decided
to move once again, this time to 213 Caerleon Road and even larger
facilities. Growth continued and the practice welcomed Dr Bernard
Palmer who had returned from Canada.
By the 1980's
a lady doctor, Dr Saleh, had joined the practice and with the additions
of a practice manager, installation of a computer system, the practice
at 213 Caerleon Road was literally going through the roof!
Retirement
was fast approaching for the two elder partners and the younger
partner, Dr Simon Price, began looking for larger accommodation.
Previously, the old St Julians Clinic controlled by the local authority
had only been available for rental, but with changing political
attitudes the site in Stafford Road became available for purchase.
The post-war hangar-type building was demolished and has now made
way for a large multi-function clinic to carry on the traditions
of the Caerleon Road surgery. It is hoped this will cope with the
demands of the new century.
Dr Graeme
Yule joined the practice at 213 Caerleon Road in August 1992 and
Dr Ray Monsell in February 1993. Dr Janet Evans joined us at St
Julians Medical Centre in August 1995. Dr Malcolm Brown joined in
January 2001 and Dr Amy Hampton joined in March 2002.
