The Greystoke Team would like to announce the very well-deserved retirement of Dr Karen Thompson at the end of August 2024. We will miss her absolute dedication and good humour greatly, but we know she has a very active future planned with family, hobbies and travel.
We would welcome you to send us any kind words relating to your care with Dr Thompson over the years. These can be emailed to our Practice Manager at jenniferdollman@nhs.net
These will be included in a book that will be available in reception for patients to sign with well wishes. Please be aware that your contributions will be seen by other patients.
Dr Thompson writes:
The time has come to hang up my stethoscope and retire. I have been very lucky and privileged to work at Greystoke Surgery for 24 years and in Morpeth for 30 years, which means I will miss everyone so much.
I have seen a lot of changes, including moving from a fantastic Victorian House as the ‘Old’ Greystoke to the modern premises we are now in with all of it’s services for us to use. I have loved being a GP and hopefully have helped make a difference for some of you during my career, but now it is time for me to do all of those things I have been wanting to take part in over the years. You might see me out on my bike more or possibly on the Golf course if I can somehow manage to get the clubs to connect with the ball.
I know you are being left in very capable hands and I wish every single one (both patients and staff) the very best for the future!
Dr Karen Thompson
