⭐️Dr Steve Allan⭐️

Dear Everyone at Bangholm Medical Centre,
Some of you may know I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer last year.
Thankfully, I’ve initially responded to treatment. However, due to ongoing symptoms and treatment side effects, I’m reluctantly and sadly announcing my retirement.
I’ve been at Bangholm Medical Centre nearly 30 years, and it’s been a massive and precious part of my life.
I feel lucky to have worked with excellent colleagues over the years and I thank them all for their dedication hard work and friendship. I’m leaving Bangholm in their very capable hands.
Finally, an enormous thank you to you all, the patients at Bangholm. I’m grateful to you for making my time here so memorable and enjoyable as a Doctor . It’s been my privilege.
Please stop me and say Hello if we see each other out and about.
All the Best,
Steve Allan

Thank you for everything Fiona- you will be deeply missed by everyone. Wishing you a long, happy, and relaxing retirement💙
