News and updates for primary care colleagues

 

Greetings to all,

Welcome to the autumn 2017 issue of InTouch, the newsletter dedicated to keeping our colleagues in primary care informed.

 

As another way for us to keep you updated, and to strengthen communications between you and clinicians here, we are running a growing number of education sessions. Please let me know if there are any specialties that would be of interest to you.

 

In other news from me, please remember a directory of our services and clinicians is available here: https://www.stgeorges.nhs.uk/gps-and-clinicians/services/


As always we welcome feedback, and any topics you would like us to feature.  Please email In.Touch@stgeorges.nhs.uk

With best wishes,


Dyhian Mckenzie-Manning
