Visit to Kingsbridge

Visit to Kingsbridge Hospital

Community hospitals are my passion and in communities like Kingsbridge they are a real lifeline for those who do not want to be in large general hospitals. The NHS will face tough decisions about spending over the next decade and I am committed to fighting for community hospitals to ensure their survival. It was the threatened closure of my own local community hospital that first brought me into politics and I will take every opportunity to raise their profile if elected as your MP.

 

Kingsbridge ‘Walk and Talk’ Scheme and Information Centre

Every Wednesday, this scheme provides an opportunity for socialising and fitness as a team of volunteers leads three levels of walkers out and about from the centre of Kingsbridge. This was an opportunity to meet a group of walkers and volunteers. I know, from my own work as a GP, how important ‘walk and talk’ can be for anyone who would like to get back to fitness and or just to make new friends. No fitness is required to get started, so just follow this link.
