14 Mar 2019Caring Times
Caring for one another is very important at Duchal every day however this week we have had some extraordinary caring children taking care of some “poorly and injured” patients!
The Duchal Surgery was very busy when Dr O and Nurse J visited. There was bandaging, temperature taking, consulting and investigating.
All the trainee doctors and nurses had perfect bedside manners and dealt with all their patients with care and attention and cured all the ailments!
Thank you to our local Doctor and Nurse for giving up their time to give the children such a great experience. Read article -
