Dr Rob Richards

It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce the departure of Dr Rob Richards from Drayton Medical Practice. He will be leaving us in the New Year.

In his own words:

“It is very much with mixed feelings that I will be leaving Drayton Medical Practice in January 2026. I have had the honour of being a DMP partner for over 30 years!

Many of you will know my daughter Ellie, who is currently in her last year of GP training in Edinburgh. We are delighted that she is expecting her first child in November, and our grandson Levi is currently 16 months old. We feel the time is right to move nearer our family while we still have the energy to do so. My wife, Becky, has got a job as associate priest in a group of churches just outside Penrith on the northern fringes of the Lake District. She will start there in early December and I will join her in our new home at the end of January.

I am sure I will be hard pushed to find such a great team to work with up there. I wish everyone, staff and patients, all the best for the future.”

Dr Richards will be missed by all the staff here at the practice and we wish him all the best and good luck in his future adventures.
