A GP surgery is entering a new era following the arrival of new partners to lead the practice.

Dr Kate Riches, Dr Rohit Goyal and Dr Olorunsuyi Ikumapayi are among the new faces at Grove Medical Centre in Felixstowe.

They will work alongside non-GP partner Kate Bloomfield, who has served as the practice manager for the past seven years.

The team plans to maintain and improve patient care.

A spokesman for Grove Medical Centre said: "We are delighted to begin this new chapter as the partnership taking forward the Grove Medical Centre.

"Our partnership brings together three GP partners, each dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality healthcare for our patients.

"As a team, we are committed to building on the excellent care the practice has always provided while continuing to develop and improve our services.

"Our focus is on putting patients at the heart of everything we do, supporting our dedicated staff, and ensuring the practice continues to thrive for many years to come."

In March, Dr Stephen Feltwell announced that he would be retiring from running the practice, along with his colleague Dr Rajiv Chhabra.

Dr Feltwell, who had been a GP for 35 years, was the project leader for the delivery of the £3.5 million Grove Medical Centre, which opened in 2014.

The spokesman added: "We are excited about the future and look forward to getting to know you, listening to your feedback and working together to provide the very best care for the Felixstowe community."
