Dr. Crossley Retires

Dr Crossley Retires
Dr. Neil R Crossley retired today after 32 years and 6 months at The Abingdon Surgery.

He joined Dr Vivian, Schofield and Cave on April 1st 1981, when there was a modest two-up-two-down practice on Stert Street. Since then the practice has expanded and taken over neighbouring buildings and hired nurses and become a yellow fever vaccination centre.

Our family have been with him for most of that time and seen him rise up the list, which Dr Buttar will now top. According to his goodbye message – on the practice website – Dr Crossley will continue as a GP appraiser, and do some Locum work, and continue to support Arsenal.

Dr. Crossley did take to twitter for a brief spell. On 30 Mar 2011 he said “That was hard work. 1 person ill enough for hospital, lots of poorly kids, as well as the usual. And it rained, and I’m still here ca va”.

Enjoy the locum work and your retirement and thanks for all you have done!

    I have been a patient there since 1976. Dr Schofield.

    Remember when his room was up a flight of stairs.

    As far as I know I am still a patient there, Dr Vickers.
    (not been there for about 6 years-fit and well)

    Dr Vivian was my GP for many years. He was also present at my birth in 1974. I hope he’s still alive although the last I heard he was in ill health?
