Douglas Grove Surgery - Grand Opening

Wednesday 29th September saw the official opening of the new Surgery building in Douglas Grove.  Our Chaiman, Philip Watts was one of many invited to the day which proved a big success.  The ribbon was cut by Mrs Daisy Shine, 100years young and another VIP was Priti Patel - recently elected local politician.

HRECI, who had already supplied
play equipment for the surgery waiting rooms, donated further toys to help keep any little residents happy whilst waiting to see the Doctor!

the development of teh surgery has been a long time coming and everyone concerned is extremely pleased with how it's turned out.  It will enable local services to reach further into our community.
