Dr John Heather, clinical director, expressed his gratitude and pride: “This transformation is a true testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team and a direct result of their commitment to provide excellent patient care.

“We have worked tirelessly to improve every aspect of our practice, and this rating reflects our collective efforts.”

“We are fully committed to maintaining these high standards and continuously improving the care we offer.

“This is about sustaining the momentum and continuing to build trust with our patients.”

“From administrative staff to clinicians, everyone’s hard work and dedication made this possible, we are truly proud of what we have achieved together.”

“This is really positive news for patients, who will be assured of high-quality services. Thanks to all the staff for their hard work in transforming the services”.
