An East Sussex doctor will bid farewell to patients after 22 years.
Dr Deveda Redman has invited all her patients to a Saturday surgery this weekend to say goodbye.
After her stint at the High Street practice in Heathfield, Dr Redman, who lives in Mayfield, hopes to spend more time with her husband Brian and her first grandchild, due in April.
She came to East Sussex in 1979 after a spell in Surrey.
After several years working at a Battle practice, she joined Heathfield doctors Ken Chambler and Nick Avery in 1982, based in a small house in the town.
A year later the practice moved to High Street and the number of patients has grown from 5,000 to 12,500.
Patients are invited to drop in to the surgery on Saturday between 11am and 12.30pm.
