On Wednesday 11 November at 11am, The Downland Practice will observe the national two-minute silence for Remembrance Day.

As an NHS provider, it is important that we mark this occasion respectfully. Remembrance Day gives us an opportunity to remember and honour those who served, and those who lost their lives through conflict, including the contribution and sacrifice of healthcare professionals and all those who have supported people during times of war and national emergency. Observing the silence also reflects the NHS values of respect, compassion, and service.
