Throughout her time with the practice, she was known for being caring, kind, and genuinely friendly, putting patients at ease and always taking the time to listen. Dr Worrall combined this warmth with a thorough and professional approach to care, ensuring her patients felt supported and confident in their treatment. Dr Worrall will be greatly missed by colleagues and patients alike, and we thank her for her dedication and commitment, wishing her all the very best for the future.

Patients assigned to Dr Worrall will be allocated a new doctor in due course and communication around this will follow.
