Dr Ruffle is leaving his role as a partner in early September. He has been a GP here since March 1997. He is not retiring and will continue to work in the NHS across various roles.

We are sure he will grace room 4 with his presence as a locum when we need him. He would like you all to know that it has been an honour and pleasure to work with the patients, staff and doctors in Twyford for the last 26 years and it is a wrench to leave.

He will be greatly missed by our surgery team, who wish him the very best for the future. We thank him for his loyalty and long service to us and our community.
