Congratulations go to Tania Kane, access planning manager, who recently retired from NHS Lanarkshire after a remarkable 41 years’ service.
Tania, who was based at Kirklands Headquarters, started her career with NHS Lanarkshire as a clerical officer in medical records as part of a youth training scheme (YTS). Throughout her career, Tania has held various roles including supervisor in outpatients department; supervisor in medical records and supervisor in contracts department where she contributed to the implementation of GP fundholding. Other roles Tania has held include assistant planning manager, business support manager in the medical directorate and business support manager in theatres and anaesthetics.
Tania lives in Airdrie with her husband James and has a daughter, Megan, who is her pride and joy. Tania has four siblings and family is really important her. In her spare time, Tania enjoys spending weekends with her daughter and to holiday anywhere the sun is shining, but her heart lies in Fuerteventura and Disney Florida.
Tania has a hidden talent and is known to have ‘Irish danced’ worldwide (after a few Guinness) while celebrating St Patrick’s Day. Her colleagues have enjoyed hearing about her trips away with her mum, the latest being on the ‘Harry Potter’ train over the Glenfinnan Viaduct.
Colleague Shirley Blaney, access planning manager, said: “I’ve known and worked with Tania for 41 years – even though neither of us look old enough! Over the years, we have laughed together, cried together and worked hard together. Tania is always willing to support colleagues and is a great friend. She will be sorely missed.”
