Dr Muttu
As many of you will be aware, a sense of deep loss settled over all our surgeries this week following the passing of our Practice Owner and Clinical Director Dr Muttu.
Dr Muttu, known among colleagues and patients alike for unwavering dedication and compassionate leadership, played a central role in shaping the practice and its values. Fellow staff have described him as not only a skilled clinician, but also a supportive mentor & guiding presence whose influence reached far beyond the consulting room.
Dr Muttu’s commitment to patient care and to fostering a strong, caring team leaves behind a legacy that will not be forgotten.
The news has been met with heartfelt sadness across the team, many of whom are now navigating a period of grief while reflecting on the lasting impact of his work.
We would like to offer sincere thanks for the kindness, compassion and support shown by patients and the wider community as we come to terms with this profound loss.
Despite the loss, the team remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining the high standards for our patients which Dr Muttu championed.
