On my retirement.
Thank you so much to everyone for the cards, gifts and good wishes. I am overwhelmed by all of it!
So many of you have talked about events that have been important to you over the years and that has brought back lots of memories for me.
It’s a very different practice and a very different NHS to the one I joined so many years ago. We have many more patients and work in a completely different way now, but I hope you feel we have always been able to keep a patient centred ethos.
I have only been able to keep going for so long because of support from family, from the other doctors, nurses, Charlene and reception staff.
It has been a privilege to work with all my current and past colleagues, but above all it’s been a privilege to have been able to have you all as my patients.
I couldn’t have had a better career or worked in a better practice.
As a fellow GP has written, I truly have been fortunate.
Best wishes and immense thanks to you all!
