East Grampians Health Service chief executive Nick Bush recently presented Dr Derek Pope with his 35 year Certificate of Service for his great service to EGHS.
Dr Pope was a great contributor to the health service, undertaking on-call work for Urgent Care and hospital patients, anaesthetics and obstetrics.
Dr Pope has recently retired from clinical practice and his gentle and caring approach to his patients and staff has been missed.
Best of luck in your retirement Derek!
