Surgery TeamDr Andrew BowerMBBS, MRCGP, DCH, DFFP, DRCOG GP Partner I have been a GP for many years having qualified in London. I moved to Somerset in 2001 and joined the team at Bow in 2007.I enjoy the many challenges that general practice in a rural community provide, but I have a particular interest in palliative care, cardiovascular disease and care of the elderly. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family. My interests include rugby, running and gardening.
