Changes to our Partnership and CQC Rating
We would like to share some positive news with our patients about recent changes at Great Barr Medical Centre
After many years of service, Dr Ratti has retired from the Partnership. We thank Dr Ratti for his dedication and the care he has provided to our patients, and we wish him well for the future.
We are delighted to announce that Dr Sahajpal, Jill Kandola, and Jamie Kerr have joined the Partnership. They will be working alongside Dr Kandola to ensure the continued delivery of high-quality care to all our patients.
In addition, we are very pleased to inform you that Great Barr Medical Centre has recently received an improved rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This reflects the hard work and commitment of the whole practice team to continually improve patient care and services.
We look forward to building on this success with our new Partnership team.
