🎄 Christmas Governance Day at Practice Plus Group 🎄

Monday our teams came together for a fantastic Christmas Governance Day filled with learning, laughter and lots of festive spirit! ✨

Our staff proudly wore their Christmas jumpers, enjoyed a delicious Christmas meal together, and took part in a full day of valuable training. One of the highlights was our departmental gingerbread competition — and the creativity this year was incredible!

🏆 Congratulations to our winning team, who crafted an amazing gingerbread replica of our soon-to-open Mendip Unit, complete with a patient in a procedure room. A brilliant and festive nod to the exciting developments ahead for our hospital.

As we head toward the end of the year, we want to wish all our colleagues, patients and community a very Merry Christmas. We hope you enjoy the festive season and a joyful end to 2024. 🎅✨
