Local GP, Dr Emma Baldwin is retiring as a Partner at Firs House, the surgery announced this week.
Dr Baldwin, who has been a partner at the practice since 1997, will leave at the end of March 2023.
Residents of Histon, Impington and Cottenham have taken to social media sites to express their gratitude for Dr Baldwin’s 26-year service, as well as their sadness at her retirement.
One Histon resident said: “Dr Baldwin is an absolute legend. She is the cheeriest, most compassionate and caring of GPs – a real sunbeam of loveliness. So many of us have been lucky enough to be under her care for over 20 years.”
An Impington Firs House patient commented: “Dr Baldwin has been an exemplary GP, always offering to go the extra mile for the patients in her medical and pastoral care. We wish her a happy retirement but she will be greatly missed.”
The surgery also praised the long-serving GP, commenting: “Dr Baldwin will be remembered for her unconditional dedication, hard work and commitment to the patients of Histon and Cottenham. We hope the community will join us in wishing her the very best in her future ventures”.
