🎉 Happy Retirement, Jane! 🩺🌸

After an incredible 51 years as a nurse, our much loved colleague Jane has officially retired. Jane has been a part of the Market Lavington Surgery family for many years, and her compassion, expertise, and kindness have touched the lives of countless patients and colleagues.

A true mentor to our nursing team, Jane’s wealth of knowledge and calm, reassuring presence will be deeply missed. Her dedication to care and her unwavering support for others have made her an inspiration to us all.

To celebrate her amazing career, we enjoyed a lovely farewell picnic, filled with laughter, memories.

As Jane heads into retirement, we know she’ll be spending even more time doing something she truly loves -gardening! 🌿🌼 We hope her days are filled with sunshine, flowers, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy all that she’s worked so hard for.

Please join us in thanking Jane for everything she’s done, and in wishing her all the happiness in the world for this next chapter. 💙

We experienced issues with our phone system on Friday, which may have prevented some patients from getting through. Engineers attended over the weekend, and the issue has now been resolved.
As a result, our phone lines may be busier than usual this morning as we catch up with missed calls.
Additionally, we are currently experiencing some staff sickness, which may cause further delays.
We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as our team works hard to respond to all queries.

🎉 Celebrating a Truly Inspiring Career! 🎉
In June, we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating a major milestone at Market Lavington Surgery — our incredible nurse Karen marked 25 years of dedicated service with us! 🩺💙
Karen completed her nurse training in 1985, and before joining us in primary care in 2000 she gained a wealth of experience across a wide range of clinical settings. Her career included working in Intensive Care, working on a chest ward, working in community nursing, and she also took on leadership role as a Ward Sister — demonstrating her commitment, compassion, and capability at every step.
Since joining Market Lavington Surgery, Karen has continued to develop her skills and expand her impact. She has completed a Diploma in Asthma and COPD, training in Women’s Health in the Community, and many other clinical competencies — all while consistently providing outstanding care to our patients.
With an incredible 40 years plus in nursing, Karen’s knowledge, dedication, and warmth have made a lasting difference to so many lives. 💐
Thank you, Karen, for your years of service, passion, and care — we’re incredibly lucky to have you! 💙👏
