Happy Retirement Dr Rider
Church Lane Surgery would like to inform all our patients that Dr Stella Rider will be retiring on the 31st July 2022. Dr Rider first joined the practice as a GP registrar in 1992 and then returned as a GP retainer before becoming a partner in 2001.
Stella has provided skilled and dedicated GP services throughout her time at Boroughbridge and I know she will be greatly missed by the partners, her colleagues and not least her many patients.
We would all like to wish Stella and her husband Andy all the best for a long and happy retirement.
Health questionnaires
We are collecting data regarding health status over the coming weeks via text messages. These are non-urgent requests and may relate to smoking status, BMI, ethnicity, flu programme etc. These are not compulsory and you do not need to reply if you do not wish to, but it helps the surgery target services where necessary if you do.
You do not need to ring the surgery if the link to reply does not work, please just ignore.
Please be assured if you receive a text message from the surgery it is not a scam and it is safe to reply.
