A huge congratulations to Eliscia from Cavalry Road! 👏

Eliscia has gone above and beyond this month, helping countless patients identify potential cases of undiagnosed hypertension through our blood pressure service. 💪

Her dedication and initiative during the busy vaccination season have really stood out, and her positive, can-do attitude has been praised by both colleagues and patients alike. 🌟

Amazing work, Eliscia — a truly well-deserved recognition! 💚

📅 8 May 2025 | VE Day 80 🇬🇧

Today marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, when the guns fell silent across Europe and peace was declared after years of conflict.

We remember and honour the bravery, sacrifice, and resilience of all those who served and supported the war effort — on the front lines, at home, and across the Commonwealth.

🕊️ Let us pause to reflect, give thanks, and pass their legacy on to future generations.
