Message from Dr Ruth Nabarro

I have now made the difficult decision to retire from General Practice. I have been a GP partner since 1993, and at Hadleigh Health Centre since 2002. It has been an incredible career, and I am overwhelmingly grateful for it.

Being a GP is an extraordinary privilege . I have met people from all walks of life, had them share their deepest secrets with me and been able to share in their greatest highs and lows. I don’t think there can be a career quite like that of the Family Doctor.

Working at Hadleigh has been a marvellous experience. Few practices can boast such an efficient , hardworking, and dedicated team . I will miss the practice no end.
I know I leave my patients in very safe hands , despite the increasing challenges that General Practice is subject to ; the Hadleigh Health Centre will, without doubt, continue to provide an excellent standard of care for all.

I will leave a notebook in the waiting room; in case anyone feels like leaving me a personal message!

With fondest memories and best wishes to all my patients over the years

Dr Ruth Nabarro
