Richard Branson's Virgin to run GP surgeries . Virgin is opening a string of doctors surgeries across the country which would also house dentists and complementary therapists. The first clinic - believed to be in Nottingham - will be launched this year, with more planned for 2009. The move by Sir Richard Branson's new business, Virgin Healthcare, would see patients treated on the NHS by health service staff but also offer extra paid-for services such as dentists, conventional and complementary therapies.
The idea is to create a one-stop shop which would be tailored around the needs of residents.
Virgin say it would be working with the NHS to create a better health service."
