Dr Kim Glass will be retiring at the end of January 2027.

We know that Kim is a very special doctor to many of her patients. Over the years, she has built strong and trusted relationships, and we recognise that some of you travel considerable distances to continue seeing her. This is a real testament to the care, commitment and confidence she has inspired, and we understand that her retirement will be a significant change for many of you.

We want to give her patients as much notice as possible, so they have time to consider their options for ongoing care. We will be using the Manage My Health Portal, email or text to tell her patients but this will take us some time so we have decided to add this to our website and facebook page as well

We have advertised for a replacement GP, but at this stage, we do not yet have anyone confirmed.

We do have other GPs at Lyttelton Health who are accepting new patients. For those of you who travel some distance to see Kim, this may also be a good opportunity to consider whether having a GP closer to home would be more convenient for your ongoing healthcare needs.

We appreciate that choosing a GP is a personal decision, particularly when you have had a longstanding relationship with someone you know and trust. Our team is happy to help you understand the options available and support you through this transition.

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Kim’s wonderful contribution to our practice and the many patients she has cared for over the years. She will be greatly missed by both her patients and our team
