Story
The Ottery St Mary Medical Trust Fund was established in 1990, so that Coleridge Medical Centre could remain at the forefront of general medical practice.
As the demands on the NHS increase, the generosity of those who have donated to, fund raised for, or left a gift in their will to the Trust, has enabled the GP Partners at the Medical Centre to enhance the care provided to our patients. Through the generous support of our donors, we have been able to purchase some much needed equipment to enhance the care we provide. This can be anything from blood pressure monitors to defibrillators, from pre-diabetic booklets to routine Practice maintenance. Each donation undoubtedly helps us provide reassurance, dignity and comfort to our patients, whilst potentially saving lives.
The Trustees will welcome and consider all requests and suggestions for purchases that will benefit patients and users of the Medical Practice.
