Bertie

Practice Mascot

Bertie is the practice mascot. A very handsome Cocker Spaniel, he can be seen welcoming the guide dogs of some of our patients, and bringing a smile to the faces of nervous children. He also keeps the staff fit with his boisterous lunch-time walks and occasionally can be heard asking for more treats. He enjoys chasing rabbits, barking at birds and sniffing at everything!
