FacebookDr Kirkwood will be retiring on 27 March
We would like to inform our patients that Dr Kirkwood, Senior Partner at the practice, will be retiring on 27 March after many years of dedicated service.
Dr Kirkwood has made a significant contribution to the care of our patients and the development of the practice, and we would like to thank Dr Kirkwood for her commitment, leadership, and support over the years. She will be greatly missed by colleagues and staff, and we are sure many patients will wish to join us in extending their best wishes for a happy and well-deserved retirement.
We are also pleased to confirm that Dr Blackman will be taking on the role of Senior Partner from 28 March. Dr Blackman is well known to many of our patients and is committed to maintaining the high standard of care and continuity you expect from the practice.
The practice team remains unchanged, and patient services will continue as normal.
