On Friday we said goodbye to Dr Bavington after an illustrious 27 years of working at Kensington Partnership! 👋 Whilst we were all sad to see him leave we knew we had to give him a good send off as he starts the next chapter of his life in retirement. We dedicated the reception area in his name and invited patients along with the Lord Mayor down to unveil the plaque and say goodbye properly - we even had some live music from a patient! From all of us (both staff and patients), we wish you all the best for the future Dr Bavington ⭐️ (click for more videos on our Youtube channel!)
