Mother's Day can be especially challenging when you're coping with grief, bereavement, or loss. There is no set timeline for how long grief lasts or how you should feel during any particular time of year.

Please remember, you are not alone in your feelings.🤍🫶

We are pleased to let our patients know that we now have a sensory pack available to use at the practice.

The pack is available for patients who may find the practice environment overwhelming or who would benefit from some additional support during their visit.

Items include things such as ear defenders, a stress ball, fidget items, an eye mask, and colouring activities.

If you feel a sensory pack would help during your appointment, please ask at reception and a member of the team will be happy to help.

We are committed to making our practice as welcoming and accessible as possible for all patients. 🙌

We would like to let our patients know that Dr Uju Oyolu will be leaving the practice in April.

Dr Oyolu has been with the practice since April 2019 and has been a much-valued member of our team throughout that time. She has given so much to the practice and will be greatly missed by patients and staff alike.

While we are very sad to see her go, we would like to thank her for all of her hard work and dedication over the years, and we wish her every happiness and success in her new adventure.

Best wishes from all at AMC 🙌👏

After 29 years at Ainsdale Medical Centre, our wonderful secretary Carolyn will be retiring at the end of this month.

Carolyn has been a valued and much-loved member of the team for many years, and we are all so very sad to see her go. Her hard work, dedication, and support over the years have meant so much to both colleagues and patients alike.

Carolyn will be hugely missed by the whole team, and we would like to thank her for her incredible service to the practice over the past 29 years.

We wish her all the very best for a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement. 💐

With love from all at Ainsdale Medical Centre. 🩷🎉
