Dr Emma Gayton, GP Partner at Grove Medical Practice and Clinical Director for St Ives Primary Care Network said “I have never been as proud of being a GP in St Ives as I was this weekend during our first Covid-19 vaccination clinic.
“Our patients were so happy to be vaccinated and braved the cold and rain, and sometimes dark conditions.
“Our staff and volunteers gave up their weekends to work in the clinic and managed to vaccinate hundreds of local people.”
