The Hollies Medical Centre: Staffing Changes Ahead
DR NIKKI HALL IS RETIRING
It is with great sadness and the deepest pride that we announce Dr Nikki Hall will be leaving the Hollies Medical Centre after 22 years of service to the practice and our patients.
Dr Hall has led the practice through some very difficult and incredibly joyous periods alike, has been a mentor and role model to the entire team. She has provided remarkable care whilst practicing at the Hollies and has written the message below to our patients:
“Dear patients of the Hollies Medical Centre
The 21st of February 2024 will be my last working day as senior partner at the Hollies Medical Centre. I came to the Hollies in 2002 as a newly qualified GP with the aim to provide the best personalised care I could. There has been a lot of change within the NHS and the Hollies with some good times and bad times. I have had the privilege of accompanying so many interesting people from different backgrounds and cultures on their health journeys. Everyday a new challenge, something new learnt and no day ever the same.
I have been fortunate to work with a supportive team who share similar beliefs and a willingness to change and embrace the future.
How lucky I am to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
Thank you
Dr Nikki Hall”
Whilst Dr Hall’s presence at the Hollies will be missed, we see this as an opportunity to welcome two new Partners to the Practice. Dr Eleanor Cumberbatch, previously a Salaried GP at The Hollies, and Dr Craig Fishwick, with previous experience as Salaried GP in the Peak District area. Dr Cumberbatch and Dr Fishwick will be joining the Hollies partnership from April 2024, please be sure to say hello as you see them around the building.
OTHER STAFFING CHANGES:
You will see other staffing changes occurring through the coming months as Fran Draper, our Business Manager and previous Practice Manager retires from the Hollies after nearly 5 years at the practice and 22 years working in Primary Care. Fran’s retirement has made way for Andrew Smith to progress to Practice Manager from his Deputy Practice Manager role. Andrew brings nearly 20 years of Management experience, in various roles to the Hollies and has already contributed to several positive changes you may have noticed at the practice.
Our HCA team is also set to evolve as Jo Streets leaves the Practice after just short of ten years amazing service at the Hollies.
Both Fran and Jo have committed so much to the care of our patients and have been done so much to contribute to the success of the Hollies Medical Centre, we are truly thankful for their contributions through the years.
We would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Jon Vinson, Clinical Pharmacist, to our Clinical Pharmacy Team. Jon has vast experience in both community and clinical pharmacy and joins us from Derbyshire. Jon will be joining the team from February.
We thank you all for your continued support.
Kind Regards
The Partners of the Hollies Medical Centre
Drs Hall, Harvey, Lyons, Bramwell, Hogan, Cumberbatch and Fishwick
