Community Recognition Notice - The Lorn Surgery

23 November 2021

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—Today I rise to acknowledge the team at The Lorn Surgery who work to promote and maintain the health and well-being of our local community. They provide a wide range of services ranging from general medicine to podiatry to lactation support. The Lorn Surgery is a team of over 20 individuals who have worked hard to increase their positive community impact during the pandemic. Mr Trent Williams, a Clinical Nurse Consultant and long term Maitland resident contacted me to highlight how much good will and genuine kindness underpins the work of this team. To quote Mr Williams "they have saved many lives by their sense of decency, hard work and community spirit. I am in awe of their contribution and good will". He particularly asked that I acknowledge the work of Sally Richards, Midwife and Lactation Consultant, and Dr Craig Richards General Practitioner. I commend all members of the Lorn Surgery team from the valuable first contact Reception staff, to the medical professionals. I commend them on working throughout the pandemic to re-enforce and encourage our health, well-being and safety. I wish them ongoing success as a vital part of our broader health network.
