Colleagues paid a fond farewell to Kim Gribben, clinical lead nurse specialist, sexual health, who retired in March after a remarkable 37 years’ service.
Kim, who was based in the Glenalmond Building at Coathill Hospital, began her nurse training in 1985 and worked in various positions throughout her career. This included as a midwife at the then Bellshill Maternity and thereafter health visiting for many years. During this time Kim did a session with family planning in Bellshill and then joined the sexual health team permanently in 2014. In 2018, Kim was promoted to her current role, where she remained until her retirement.
Kim is married to Henry and has two grown-up children, Daniel and Laura. In her spare time, Kim loves shopping – and more shopping! She enjoys holidaying and going weekends with her life-long nursing friends.
Karen Stewart, sexual health team lead, said: “Kim is not only a colleague but a good friend. We have laughed and cried at times, we’ve put the world to rights and I am going to miss her in our team. She is a credit to the nursing profession and it has been a privilege working alongside her”.
