Retirement Message – Dr Michelle Hayes

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
