A brief history
The West Street Surgery was founded by Dr Lathbury in June 1891 at 3 West Street, Dunstable.
The Surgery moved to 22a West Street during the latter part of the 1920's where it remained until 1965. On 19th November 1965 it relocated to purpose built premises at 89 West Street.
In 1988 these premises were demolished and a new, much enlarged structure was built on the same site plus some extra adjoining land.
The Practice has, over the years, expanded from its one original partner founder to the current fully computerised, purpose built surgery with 6 partners and 32 staff.
If you are interested in joining this group please contact Carolyn Boyd, Practice Manager, on 01582 664401 or ppg@weststreetsurgery.org.uk.
