Spring is a time to remember the past and be thankful for the many people who have been alongside us in the good times and the not so good times, people who have influenced us and helped us make happy memories.
Prior to the outbreak of the Coronavirus we were already making plans for some important changes at Francis House.
This year will see the retirements of Gill Bevin, our Registered Manager and Tracey Potts, who have had senior roles for some time latterly as joint Director of Care. Francis House will not be the same without them – but things move on and we are pleased to announce that Sharon Doodson will take over as the Registered Manager in November 2020 after a period of ‘shadowing’ Gill.
To free Sharon for her new duties, Linda Flowers takes over as Clinical Lead for Francis House and Cerysa Doherty becomes the Clinical Lead at Francis Lodge – big changes but exciting times and we welcome these new appointments!
