💚 A grateful note from our team…

As part of Debbie’s February Gratitude Wellbeing Challenge, we wanted to take a moment to say a big thank you to our patients and community.

Over the past year, we’ve made a huge effort to improve how we communicate, especially through our website and page, to make information clearer, more up to date and easier to access when you need it most.

We’ve received lots of lovely feedback and have seen more of you engaging with our posts, and we’re really grateful for your support and encouragement

Your feedback helps us continue to improve and provide the best possible support for our community.
