Dr Patrick Nerney, MRCGP, Specialist in Family Medicine, joins the Specialist Medical Clinic

The Specialist Medical Group Ltd is delighted to announce that one of Gibraltar’s most senior General Practitioners, Dr Patrick Nerney MBBCh, (formerly a General Practitioner at the GHA Primary Care Centre in the ICC) has dusted off his stethoscope, after a couple of months of well deserved rest and relaxation, and joined the specialist team at the Specialist Medical Clinic. 

Dr Nerney, who is well known to many in Gibraltar, has been a GP for 32 years. He qualified as a doctor from Welsh Medical School at Cardiff University and gained hospital experience in Paediatrics,  Geriatrics, Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Traumatology before chosing a career in General Practice initially in South Wales. He moved to Gibraltar in 1980 to become a general Practitioner in the Gibraltar health Authority. Between 2002 and 2007 he was the Primary Care Co-ordinator for the GHA and from 2009 until his retirement earlier this year was one of the lead GPs in the Primary Care Centre. 

Over the years Dr Nerney has become well known to many patients in Gibraltar. Within the Specialist Medical Clinic, he will be providing Specialist Family Medicine services for adults and children, including acute illness diagnosis and management, vaccinations, chronic disease management, sexually transmitted disease, travel vaccinations and well man and well woman checks. He will also continue to offer musculo-skeletal medical expertise for sports injuries and inflammatory musculo-skeletal conditions.  

Initially Dr Nerney will be available for consultation Monday to Friday between 10.00am – 01.00pm each morning. There will be a choice of short (15 minute) or long (30 minute) consultations.

Mr David Deardon, Specialist Surgeon and Managing Director of the Specialist Medical Group said “over the last 12 months we have experienced an increasing demand for family medicine services within our clinic, and it was therefore a delight when Dr Nerney asked to join our practice. His arrival brings to our clinic a wealth of clinical experience and leads the way for the clinic to expand the services we offer to include emergency and routine family medicine, providing patients with the option to receive a same day emergency illness service”.
