Birstall GPretires after 28 years

GREENGATE MEDICAL Centre has announced the retirement of Dr Andrew Greer after 28 years of service.

Dr Greer said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure and a privilege to serve the patients of the practice, but I feel now is the right time to hang up my stethoscope and enjoy retirement with my family. I am very confident that all of the doctors and staff will continue to provide the high level of care that we have been providing to our catchment over many years. I wish everyone good health and best wishes for the future.”

Ms Sara Mitchell, Assistant Practice Manager, said: “We as a team would like to personally thank Dr Greer for his exceptional service and wealth of knowledge provided as a GP throughout the years. It has been an honour to work alongside someone with such vast experience for all of us here, and the support provided by him to staff and partners alike has been truly invaluable. His dedication, tireless hard work and integrity has gained our utmost respect and care as his colleagues and friends. We will all very much miss his quick-witted character around the practice, but wish him all the best for a very well-deserved retirement.”

Greengate Medical Centre’s current salaried GP, Dr Harrup, will be taking over as a partner, and the practice will be employing a new salaried GP, Dr Sreerama, who will be taking over Dr Greer’s patient list.

Dr Greer’s last day at the practice will be Friday October 27, 2023. Dr Patel will be taking over as Senior Partner.
