Dr Paul Harris It is with great sadness that Dr Paul Harris will be retiring from General Practice at the end of November 2019. Dr Harris started as a single handed doctor at Elm Grove Surgery in 1985 and then opened Patford House Surgery in October 2002. It is thanks to Dr Harris's hard work and determination, that Patford House Surgery was awarded Outstanding for Care by CQC last year. Dr Harris will be missed by staff and patients alike and we wish his many happy years of golfing!!!
