We had a great year with him on our team, and he’ll be sorely missed

Unfortunately Michael’s time with us in Sligo has come to an end today.  We wish him well in his new post in Crumlin on Monday.  Indeed, we would like to thank all our non-consultant hospital doctors for their hard work and look forward to meeting our new trainees on Monday next.
