Retirement

After 31 years as a practising GP in Perranporth, Dr Mary Turfitt is retiring at the beginning of December. It is beyond the scope of this blog to catalogue her immense contribution to primary care, not only in Perranporth but in Cornwall as a whole. She has overseen many changes within our practice and has been a close friend and confidant, not only to her partners in practice, but to many hundreds of patients and colleagues throughout the county. During her working life she has supported many causes wholeheartedly through words and actions being involved with many committees and groups. She has been a passionate believer in supporting working women and has managed to combine being a mother (and in more recent times a grandmother) and a career woman with seamless expertise fitting her work in and around the other demands being made of her. She will be sorely missed but not forgotten, particularly by choirboy as she is godmother to choirboy minor (son #2).

Because the pace of change in the modern NHS is so rapid, the blog will be used to inform about the local and national changes that are impacting on the provision of primary care in Perranporth.
