A married Nottingham GP couple are celebrating a combined 100 years of caring for generations of patients. Dr Om Prakash Sharma, 76, and wife Dr Kalpana Sharma, 74, partners at Greenfields Medical Centre in Hyson Green, have been working in general practice since the early 1970s.
On December 20, Mr Sharma marked 50 years as a doctor, most of which he has spent in Hyson Green. "I feel wonderful. I certainly can say I've enjoyed every bit of it and in particular working in a very deprived area," he told Nottinghamshire Live.
"It has its own challenges but it gives us satisfaction. People are really grateful and I'm grateful for my patients and the wonderful NHS. After five years we were well established and could've got a job in any part of the country, but we felt so settled in this area. Although it has it's challenges people are really thankful for your services."
