Royal Visit

Here are a few photos of the recent royal visit to Culm Valley Integrated Centre for Health. Their Royal Highnesses and MP Paul Burstow came to see the results of the two year four-centre project that we have just completed. The project 'Integrated Self Care in Family Medicine' has been a real success. We are hoping to continue the good work in a new centre in the near future and Simon is working hard on this. I am building a centre in Exeter which will open in late September 2011 and will use what we learnt in the project and build on this to create a place which makes people feel great again.

It was a fabulous opportunity to get all our groups in one place and new friendships blossomed as a result 
A terrible photo but if that's what we look like then so be it...Jan and Joey reunited in the cafe!
