The largest GP practice service in Ilkley has appointed a new doctor.

Dr Sam Dabin has been appointed to The Ilkley Moor Medical Practice, based at the Springs Medical Centre, and will be holding surgeries from the middle of August.

Dr Dabin graduated in medicine at Warwick and trained to become a GP in Brighton.

His medical interests remain broad, but he has always enjoyed the challenges that elderly care medicine presents. He also has a postgraduate diploma in ear, nose and throat medicine.

The practice also welcomes Dr Beth Allen to Ilkley for a year as part of her GP training scheme.
