Shelagh McIntyre has retired in her role as practice nurse at Greenhills Health Centre after a remarkable 45 years’ service in the NHS.
Shelagh started nurse training at Philipshill Hospital in 1977 doing orthopaedics. Her general RGN training took place at the Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow. Since qualifying, Shelagh has worked across Scotland in a number of different roles; midwifery, district nursing, orthopaedics and caring for those with HIV and AIDs before settling down into a practice nursing role for the last 28 years.
Leanne Kidd, Lanarkshire Medical Group regional manager, said:
“On behalf of everyone at Lanarkshire Medical Group, we are proud of the work that Shelagh has done, the person she is and the difference that she has made.
“It has been a pleasure to work alongside her, her graciousness, friendless and teamwork are going to be missed. We wish her all the very best in this new chapter of her life.”
Shelagh enjoys spending time with her family and friends and is looking forward to the arrival of another grandchild in October.
Other interests include gardens, walking, reading, knitting and venturing off to sunnier climes.
