*******   Dr Alex Turnbull   *******
 
Dr Turnbull retired from the Beech Hill Medical Practice on 31st October. There was a lunch at the surgery and he was "guest of honour" with a number of past staff members in attendance and the current staff as well. He was presented with a silver plate by the doctors and a fine watch from the staff. He made an emotional farewell speech which was fantastically well received.

We all wish him well for the future and with his continuing work in the field of mental health

He will be missed by everyone
