Dear Patients of Yorkley and Bream,
It is with great sadness that I am announcing my retirement due to ill health reasons.
It has been an absolute privilege be your GP for the last 23 years, you have trusted and welcomed me and I have felt a part of this very special community, and enjoyed a rewarding and fulfilling career being part of your lives.
Obviously, I’d hoped to continue my career for many years to come but unfortunately my health will not permit this and I must now look after myself.
I will miss you all very much but am comforted that I leave behind a practice with wonderful colleagues who will continue to provide excellent care to you all, even with the challenges of the modern NHS, and I am very proud to have been part of this legacy.
With warmest regards,
Dr Michelle Hayes
GP Partner
Yorkley Health Centre
To request a sick note:
If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
