SGPET Weekly Update Mon 28 Mar 2022
Date sent: Monday 28 March 2022
NEWS/UPDATE BOARD - This and past updates can be found here
Most of you will have heard by now that Barry Moyse the LMC's Medical Director very sadly died suddenly on March 11th. A good number of you will have read the moving tribute to Barry from past LMC Chair Nick Bray in the LMC's weekly update of March 18th . We add this special SGPET tribute to Barry here to underline all the work he did supporting our work and, through that, the learning and development of every member of Somerset's general practices.
Barry helped ensure that your efforts to grow through learning was underpinned by firm roots and foundations, he worked all hours to provide support to individuals and teams in need, and at system level he made sure that the needs and priorities of every worker in general practice were taken into account and protected.
In short what SGPET has achieved in recent years, what you have achieved for yourself and your patients with SGPET's help, could not have happened without the work of Barry Moyse.
Thanks Barry - we miss you lots.
Barry's funeral will be taking place at St Mary’s Church in North Petherton on Wednesday 30th March at noon, we will be closing the LMC/SGPET office that day as a mark of respect.
