After joining NHS Lanarkshire in April 1981, Carol Rattray, project co-ordinator for the condom distribution schemes, celebrated a remarkable 40 years’ service on 13 April.
Carol has worked across various settings and health centres but has spent the latter part of her career within the health improvement department, working for the stop smoking service and currently the blood borne virus and sexual health team.
Jo Duffy, health improvement senior, said: “Carol is the absolute backbone of the health improvement department, always happy, supportive and going the extra mile for her colleagues. She describes herself as a ‘health board girl at heart’ and proves this in everything she does, by her commitment to serving the public and ensuring the services she works on deliver for the public in terms of quality and value for money.
“Carol is also very creative and her ‘condom scenes’ created to raise awareness of positive sexual health messages can be found on the first floor of Law House across from the training department, as well as on the NHS Lanarkshire health improvement social media pages. The scenes attract many visitors and positive comments.
“The team are delighted to help Carol celebrate this milestone and look forward to working with her for many years to come as she epitomises the phrase ‘finding the joy in work’.”
To celebrate the milestone, colleagues surprised Carol with virtual get-together.
