PATIENTS at two GP surgeries in Barnsley have been told their doctors have had their contract terminated because the highest standards of care can't be guaranteed.

 

A health care team from Sheffield has taken over at Brierley and Shafton medical centres, which were run by Dr Magdi Selim and partners.

 

The Chronicle understands that Dr Selim has been subject of several private hearings of the General Medical Council and restrictions on his practice have been made, including his work as a GP being monitored by another doctor.
