It is with deep sadness we have the following announcement to make.

Our colleague Dr Alistair Harrison passed away last weekend after a short battle with cancer.

We have a lost a kind, committed, inspiring and brilliant colleague and we know this loss will also be felt by many of our patients.

The onset and speed of his illness has taken us all by surprise. Despite this he has been incredibly brave throughout.

We ask for some consideration for the staff here at the surgery who feel as though they have lost a family member.

We particularly want to ask for your thoughts and prayers for Alistair’s wife Victoria and their three children, Barnaby, Rufus and Sylvie.
