26/03/2026

After 22 years at Eglinton Family Practice, our Practice Nurse Jo Jamieson is embarking on a new chapter in her career.

While we are incredibly sad to see Jo leave, we are equally grateful for the dedication, compassion, and expertise she has brought to our patients and our team over the years.

Jo will be greatly missed by all of us, and we know her patients will feel the same. Her warmth, professionalism, and commitment have left a lasting impact on our practice.

We wish Jo every success and happiness in her new endeavours. She leaves with our deepest thanks and our very best wishes for the future. ❤️
