Patients reassured they can see other doctors while he is away
Seaton GP Dr Rob Daniels is heading for Rwanda next week to carry out voluntary medical work.
He will be helping to provide care to patients in isolated rural communities from Monday until November 18.
During this time he will obviously be unavailable at Townsend House Medical Centre. But staff there have assured his patients that any of the other doctors will be delighted to see them if they cannot wait for his return.
