🚨 Important Sample Submission Update 🚨

To ensure we can process your sample correctly, all samples must now be returned with a completed sample slip.

These slips will be given to you along with the sample bottle.

Samples without a completed slip will not be accepted.

Even if you leave your sample in the drop-off box outside, it must be securely attached to a completed sample slip—without this, your sample may not be processed.

If you need assistance filling in the slip, please ask one of our Reception team who will be happy to help.

Thank you for your cooperation.

🌟 Meet The Team Monday 🌟

This week, we're delighted to introduce Dr. Ahmed, one of our dedicated GP partners. We asked Dr Ahmed a few questions to help you get to know him better.

🩺 Why did you choose to become a GP?
I was drawn to general practice for its unique ability to provide continuous care and build lasting relationships with patients. I value the opportunity to support patients not only through medical treatment but also by connecting them with social resources that enhance their well-being. The privilege of caring for individuals across all stages of life—from newborns to the elderly—offers daily challenges that are both deeply rewarding and personally fulfilling.

🌍 What are your hobbies?
Outside of my medical practice, I enjoy travelling and capturing beautiful landscapes through photography. I'm a regular visitor of Kent's coastline and National Trust sites, finding inspiration in the natural beauty of the region.

💬 What's one piece of healthcare advice to the community?
I'm a strong advocate for immunisation and vaccination, believing that prevention is the best medicine. I encourage everyone to stay up to date with their vaccinations to protect themselves and the community.

☕ Tea or coffee?
Always tea!

Add a 👋 to the comments to say hi to Dr Ahmed!

We asked Lailah 5 quick questions to help you get to know her better:

1️⃣ What’s your favourite part of working in Reception and Dispensary so far?
🗨️ “My favourite part would be getting to know all the patients and learning to be more confident in myself!”

2️⃣ What’s a hobby or activity you love outside of work?
🗨️ “Going for walks with my family and my baby, making forever memories.”

3️⃣ What’s your go-to song when you need a boost? 🎶
🗨️ “‘Belong Together’ by Mark Ambor – definitely boosts me back up!”

4️⃣ If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go? 🌍
🗨️ “Australia!… only if they didn’t have spiders or snakes!”

5️⃣ What’s one thing you’re really looking forward to learning or doing in your role?
🗨️ “I’m really looking forward to learning how medication works and how to handle it confidently.”

We’re so excited to have Lailah on board – be sure to say hi next time you visit! 💬👩‍⚕️
