We’ve been very busy at C&H HQ! 😊 Lots of people have been through the door, and it’s been wonderful hearing what everyone thinks of our new surroundings.

Not had chance to pop in yet? No problem. Here is a video to show you our fresh new look. We're delighted with the transformation....we hope you are too! 🤞🏼👇🏼

It’s been a week since we reopened the doors of our fabulous new practice and we’ve loved hearing all the positive feedback from patients both old and new!!!

We have a lot of people to thank-especially in Garstang-what an amazing local community we have🙌

Thank you Peter A Howard for coming to officially reopen the practice you started 53 years ago. Although happily retired for 20ish years we really value your unwavering support🫶

Thank you to our Mayor and longstanding patient Elizabeth Webster for also officially reopening the practice-your support and kind words are much appreciated!!😍

Thank you to our accountants Towers + Gornall Limited for allowing us to work from your offices whilst we were closed!! We hope we didn’t disturb you all too much🤞

Thank you to our favourite florists The Flower Shop By Morgan Garstang-for the last minute foliage arrangements when our stock didn’t arrive!!🌿

Thank you to our suppliers ZEISS Vision, Wolf Eyewear and Scope for contributing to the goody bags👀

Thank you also to Heather for the delicious cupcakes🧁

The last thank you for today is to our fantastic staff who have participated in many roles that don’t match their job description over the last few weeks!!! We’re so lucky to have you🥰👏👏
