BEST MOMENTS

"You might like to do a vision board. I find that works really well for me, so I've got real clarity as to what I want to bring into my life over the next few years."

"So that is not giving really great patient care. It's not giving it to them. This lady was fully happy to be guided, to be booked back in, to make sure she was well again."

"Phrase it as at the best times for them, at a booking at a time to suit you. It might be a mum will take a 2:00 slot because she's on her way to collect the kids and she can do a nice round trip."
