WELCOME
TO THE PRACTICE
Practice History
The
practice was founded in 1948 by Dr Joseph Devlin, now sadly deceased
and was originally located at 49 Great James Street, Derry. The first
long-term partner was Dr Tom Casey who stayed with the practice for
15 years. When Dr Casey left in 1963 a group practice was formed with
Drs T McCabe, Donal MacDermott (both now sadly deceased) and R McClean.
Dr
Joseph Devlin retired in February 1979 and his son Dr Martin Devlin
then joined the practice. The practice moved to new purpose-built
premises in Great James Street Health Centre in April 1981. Over
the next 17 years, Dr Anne Doherty, Dr Eamon Doohan and
Dr Lee Casey joined the practice. Dr Samson joined in 1981 and retired
in April 2000, when he was replaced by Dr Mary McClay. Dr Conor White joined
in 1983 and retired in 2009. Since then two new partners have joined the practice.
Dr Nicola Duffy joined in April 2010, followed by Dr Ciara McLaughlin in October
of that year. The geographical area covered by the practice is a ten mile radius
of the practice premises on the northern side of the border.
