Sainsbury's today opened a new GP surgery at its Newton Abbot store on Monday 23rd January. The GP surgery, which will be operated by Buckland Surgery, will be located in a fully equipped consultation room and will offer the patients the opportunity to visit the doctor in an easy to access, convenient location.

David Gilder, Sainsbury's Professional Services Manager, said: "We are delighted that we have been able to partner with the Buckland Surgery and we are sure that this facility will be very popular with patients. We know from feedback that patients really value the ease and convenience of having a GP's surgery in store and we are sure this will be the case at Sainsbury's Newton Abbot."

Dr Jill Millar, Buckland Surgery, said: "We are very happy that we are able to open this new facility in Sainsbury's for our patients. We hope it will increase ease of access to our services as Sainsbury's is convenient to get to, with good transport links. We hope that our patients will find it easy to be able to do their shopping after they have attended an appointment with us. We will also be offering evening appointments on Mondays which might be useful for people who work during the day." 

The new surgery will be available for five in-store surgeries each week every Monday (two sessions), Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and will offer a number of services including GP consultations. It will compliment the pharmacy already based at the store.

The surgery is the fifth GP surgery located in a Sainsbury's store following those at Sainsbury's Heaton Park, Colne, Newcastle Under Lyme and Bath. Five Sainsbury's stores also host dental surgeries.

Last year Sainsbury's embarked upon a tour of the UK to engage with GPs who might be interested in using a Sainsbury's store as a location for a surgery. Sainsbury's believes that the convenient locations of its stores and the ample parking facilities often available to visitors makes its stores potentially excellent locations for GP surgery.
