TRIBUTES to popular GP Dr Edwin Cameron have been flooding into the Herald office.
Dr Cameron died suddenly in hospital on Sunday, November 16, after a fall while playing tennis at Field Place in Maybridge the previous day.

His former patients at Durrington Health Centre at Lime Tree Surgery have been sharing their memories of him.

"Dr Cameron has been my GP for 30 years.

"I was fortunate to have been in fairly good health, but he was my rock when needed.

"I am deeply saddened and he will be greatly missed.

"I spoke to him Saturday morning at a craft fair, he was his usual cheerful, kind and considerate self.

"My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

"I hope they find strength in the fact that he meant so much to so many people."

Sue Kerry
Findon Valley


"I first met him in 1974 when he came to our house after I suffered a slipped disc.

"He drew a diagram of the vertebrae to explain what had happened to my back.

"I thought he seemed very young to be a GP – he had a long Beatle style fringe in those days!

"In later years he looked after me through my three pregnancies.

"Dr Cameron was our GP of choice, as he was an excellent diagnostic doctor with a great deal of experience.

"More recently he worked at Salvington Lodge and looked after my father-in-law there until he died in March.

"Dr Cameron was always quietly spoken, kind and considerate, with an excellent bedside manner.

"I know he will be very sadly missed; such a waste.

"My thoughts go to his wife and family at this time."

Mrs Sue Heeley

"He was a true gentleman, nothing was too much trouble.

"Also, if he knew you also worked for the Health Service he would always enjoy a discussion on where it was going!"

"He will be sorely missed."

Phil Coles.

A full tribute will be published in the Worthing Herald on Thursday, November 20.
