THANKS for all the support with Potter's village now that we are 6 months in to the agreed 12 month twinning.

For anyone who's not aware they are a fantastic UK charity-funded rural Ugandan medical centre with a medical clinic, physical rehab centre, nutritional rehab centre, child crisis centre and 2 small Paediatric wards (more details via the link).

The aim of twinning is 3 fold:

• Financial support: to prevent any of the donations being spend on extra admin monitoring our contributions we don't know the value of this but a number of staff (and a couple of patients) have mentioned one off or regular giving so thank you!
• Volunteering opportunity: for medical students/staff passing through the practice: 3 students so far have expressed an interest exploring a potential future elective with a project at Potters village.
• Perspective: I hope the waiting room posters help remind staff and patients alike just how lucky we are with our with our NHS, dedicated staff and facilities.
