Remembering Dr Paul Davies

The staff and I were very sad to learn of Dr Davies’ passing recently. He was a

treasured colleague and was a fantastic doctor to his many patients. I purchased

Paul’s practice in 2009 on his semi-retirement and he went onto enjoy locum work in

Australia and New Zealand and more golf. During our professional years practising

together he taught me many tricks of the trade and was a good mentor. To his staff who knew him from Lincoln Road he will always be Dr D.

Many patients commented to me recently before I left Cashmere Medical Practice

that they had only had 2 GPs with Paul being their longest GP. They relayed stories

to me about Dr Davies and how much they had appreciated the time he had spent

with them. Some told me about how he had delivered their children many years ago and others talked of his easy going, kind nature and good sense of humour.

Dr Paul Davies will be missed by many.
