Before retiring at the end of March 2024, I was the Practice Manager at Pike View Medical Centre and had been on the federation board since day one. Being on the board gave me the opportunity to influence primary care staying in primary care. I also sat on the federation’s Quality Board, providing assurance on the safe and effective delivery of its services. Sadly, this was my last year as I go onto enjoy retirement where I can spend more time with my grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

One of my proudest moments of being on the federation board, was when we set up the Extended Primary Care service and seeing practices and patients benefit from this.

I look forward to keeping in touch with the team and seeing what great adventures and services they set up next!
