A heartfelt thank you to local GP Alistair Lockwood for visiting Penrice on Monday afternoon to speak to students as part of our Future Medics Programme.

Alistair delivered an inspiring and deeply informative session, offering our aspiring young healthcare professionals a real glimpse into what it takes to become a GP – from training and qualifications to the everyday realities and rewards of this truly noble profession. His passion for patient care and dedication to the field shone through and left a lasting impression on everyone in the room.
