Welcome to our new GP Partner, Dr Tom Russell.

We are pleased to announce that Dr Russell will be joining us at North Curry Health Centre from mid-April onwards.
He is a graduate of St George’s Hospital Medical School in London and a Somerset-trained GP. Alongside his continuing academic tutor and honorary lecturer roles for medical students from the University of Plymouth and University of Bristol respectively, he has also been a serving GP with the Army Reserve.
Dr Russell is delighted to be joining the team and with his experience and dedication to patient care we feel he will be a real asset to our patients and the health centre.
He said, “I believe passionately in all that is best about traditional general practice and particularly the importance of providing high-quality continuity of care for our patients - this is clearly also an ethos shared and valued by North Curry Health Centre and I am very much looking forward to starting here next month.”
Dr Russell lives locally in Taunton with his wife and two young children.
