At The Dicconson Group Practice, our Advanced Practitioners Leon and Clare are highly experienced clinicians who support our GP team.

  • Leon and Clare can help with many urgent and acute care needs.
  • When you contact us and request a GP appointment, you may be offered an appointment with one of our Advanced Practitioners instead.
  • They have extensive medical training and education — allowing them to assess, diagnose, make clinical decisions and prescribe appropriate treatment.
  • They work closely with our GP Partners and wider clinical team, seeking advice whenever needed – it’s very much a team approach.
  • Many of you will have already had an appointment with them and will have experienced first-hand their professionalism, expertise and patient-focused care.

We’re very proud and lucky to have Leon and Clare as part of the Dicconson team
