Babatunde “Felix” Opokiti

Everyone at Kingswood Medical Group are very sad to announce the sudden death of Felix Opokiti.

Felix has been part of our team for three years and formed many close friendships within Kingswood Medical Group and other agencies around Swindon. He was a very kind, caring, considerate and funny man who brought a smile to our faces and always loved a prank.

The news has had a profound effect on the team, and we know his patients will also be upset by this sad news.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

It’s World COPD Day.

Colder weather can cause breathing problems if you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Make sure you know how to look after yourself or someone else living with COPD.

Most common childhood illnesses can usually be managed effectively at home through self-care. Keep your medicine box filled with the everyday essentials, such as plasters, paracetamol and cough medicine.
