The population rise expected due to housing expansion in SE Oxon is 17,050 homes to be built between 2016 and 2033, a population rise of 47,000 people.
This is the equivalent of 7 new GP surgeries in SE Oxon (average surgeries have approx. 7000 patients).
Due to a lack of national workforce planning we find ourselves in a position where very few doctors are choosing to become GP partners. There is an expected shortfall of 11.2 GPs in the locality in the next 4 years. More than 50% of qualifying GPs do locum work ie they are not attached to any one surgery.

Volunteer Drivers needed! The Nettlebed Good Companions is a club run by Age UK Oxfordshire for the over 60’s where we offer a variety of activities and support people to have an enjoyable day in a safe environment. The club is also dementia friendly.
We are looking for some volunteer drivers to bring clients into the club, based at the Sue Ryder home, each Friday and to return them home at the end of the day. The club runs from 10 am to 2.30pm and clients live in Nettlebed and the surrounding villages. Some clients have mobility issues so a larger car is desirable for some clients. A DBS check will be required. Please do contact me if you may be able to help. Thank you – Hayley Thorne 07827 235459 or email hayleythorne@ageukoxfordshire.org.uk...
