“It’s great as it shows that everyone is doing everything they can to help those who come to us.

“From the receptionists to the doctors to the nurses to everyone else in between, we work so hard as a team to make sure that our patients are looked after.

“We’re over the moon and this is a testament to the brilliant team we have as we make sure that our patients are seen by the right doctors.

“Our patients are aware of what we’re doing as we’ve been quite fortunate to have people that are understanding during what are tough times.
