Farewell Jenny

Tom Waterworth • May 25, 2021

Goodbye and Good Luck!

The end of May saw us say a sad farewell to Jenny Grief. Jenny, started off as a locum with us a few years back and we managed to convince her to stay on in a permanent role at the beginning of 2020. Jenny joined us full time just as the country went into full lockdown and was a huge asset to our practice during the past difficult 12 months and COVID.

A hugely competent GP vet, Jenny was able to turn her hand to pretty much anything medical or surgical and we were always grateful for her cheery disposition and no-nonsense attitude. Popular with staff and clients she quickly built up a good reputation locally.

She always wanted to live and work by the sea - and so Rugby wasn't really going to be an ideal location as far as this is concerned! Thank you for all your hard work Jenny over the past few years, and we all wish you the very best of luck in your new adventure on the South Coast.
