A Netherfield GP will hang up her stethoscope after serving the community for 31 years.
Dr Caitriona Kennedy today informed patients via social media that she has taken the decision to retire.
The GP has worked for Trentside Medical Group, which owns the Netherfield Medical Centre where she is based, for three decades.
In a post on the Trentside Medical Group Facebook page she wrote: “After 31 years at Trentside, it is with a mixture of sadness and excitement that I am retiring from the Partnership.
“It has been a privilege and a pleasure serving our patients and supporting the community when I was able to. I take great pride in my role in procuring our lovely building. I will miss the Practice staff and patients enormously.
“My last day in clinic will be the 31st August. If you wish to come and say goodbye then I will be in the Practice on the 5th September and look forward to seeing you then.”
