Dr Manders retires

Dr Paul Manders has taken early retirement and left Ardleigh Surgery on the 19 May 2010 after 25 years at the practice. He is being replaced by Dr Radrie Cole, who has moved to the area with her husband who has taken up a consultant post in Colchester Hospital. Dr Cole, a former GP partner at a practice in Chingford, started work at the practice on the 10 May. This will be the first change in partners we have had for 19 years when Dr Bettle joined the practice. As some of you may be aware Dr Manders has already moved from Ardleigh and now lives in a village in Suffolk near to Stowmarket. Dr Jane Owens will become the senior partner of the practice.
