Sadly Alison Stewart had to pull out of the London Marathon with a knee injury, but plans to run in it next year. Oliver Scott completed it in a time of 4hrs 41minutes. It was a wonderful experience despite the heat on the day!

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to our fundraising efforts for FLEET, helping us to raise over £2,500 so far for the emergency equipment in Cornish ambulances.

The surgery will be holding an open day on Saturday 2 September 2006. Everyone is welcome to come along and meet the doctors, nurses and staff in a relaxed atmosphere from 10 am to 12.30 pm at Wadebridge.

The idea of the open day is to introduce the people of Wadebridge and surrounding areas to our services and discover what services you would like to see developed for the future.

There will be displays, advice and free information on:

• healthy eating
• exercise
• diabetes
• stop smoking
• asthma
• expert patients programme
• carers support services
• travel vaccinations

Clinical staff will be available to answer your questions on these and other topics.

Supporting the open day will be representatives from FLEET with their emergency vehicle and equipment. You will be able to see the results of your local fund raising for FLEET.

You will probably be aware that Dr Charles Hewitt has retired from the practice as of 9th March 2006. He has worked here for just over 30 years and has been a great force in shaping the practice into what it is today. He will be greatly missed by staff and patients alike.

We are pleased to announce that Dr Max Dutson has been appointed as his successor, and started work at the practice on April 3rd 2006.
