Dr Emmett said: “I am so pleased that the surgery has gone from strength to strength and we have such a strong doctor team, some whom have been with us for a long time and some newer faces who will bring new energy. I would like to thank the partners and all the staff for their support over the years and I will miss them all greatly.

"A huge thanks to all the patients and their families for whom I have had the honour and pleasure of being their doctor at South parade surgery and latterly Craig y Don Medical practice.
