Our NHS Stories: A lifetime in nursing in the NHS

 As we mark 75 years of the NHS, we’re looking back on the history and achievements of the national health service and the opportunities that lie ahead to shape the next 75 years. The NHS has been a constant presence throughout all our lives and at the heart of everything is its staff and volunteers. We’re sharing a story from Tina, Professional Lead in the Newark and Sherwood Healthy Family Team who has clocked up 50 years’ service in the NHS.

Tina is in final years of her career and chose to work beyond usual retirement time. She says she loves her job working in the community and says she feels a very lucky and honoured person to have been able to work closely with patients and now her staff team – a team of brilliant and positive, caring people, who give their all to work to make a difference to families and children. Tina says, “I will be sad to leave it all behind, but time never stands still.”
