Dr  Lockett will be retiring in January 2010   

It is with regret that I announce the forthcoming retirement of our senior partner Dr Simon Lockett on 2nd January 2010.

After 28 years at the practice Dr Lockett’s knowledge, wisdom, caring nature and fondness for Doctor Who will be missed by us all.  We wish him a very happy and healthy retirement.

We are currently in the process of recruiting a new partner to replace Dr Lockett’s clinics early in the new year.  Dr Lockett’s patients will, of course, be welcome to see any of the partners in the future.

Messages of Good Wishes for Lockett. If  you would like to offer Dr Lockett well for his retirement there is a book on the Taverham Surgery Reception for your messages.  His last working day will be 30 December 2009.

If you have any queries relating to Dr Lockett’s retirement please feel free to contact myself or Dawn Turner, Patient Services Manager, here at the practice.

Yours sincerely
Emily Smith
Practice Director

 

Patient Participation Group

We would like to encourage more patients to join The Partnership’s Patient Participation Group which meets approximately 2/3 times a year to discuss your views on patient service, and discuss your experiences when coming to our surgeries.

We would like to encourage more mums and dads to get involved to give us more feedback on how we can help provide the service you need for you and your family.

If you are interested in getting involved please call the Surgery and let us know or email Dawn Turner on dawn.turner@nhs.net.
