HAVE A VERY CARING CHRISTMAS!

THE CARERS GROUP held their annual meeeting and Christmas Party at the Birchwood Practice on December 10.

Guests were serenaded with Christmas carols by a couple of fancily-dressed minstrels, and there was even an appearance by Father Christmas himself (or was that herself...).

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our patients and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the doctors, nurses and staff at both The Birchwood Practice and the Oakdale Surgery.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
