Greenlea Unit legend Carol Armitage is celebrating her 70th birthday and 35 years as a volunteer with us.

Staff on the unit at HRI presented her with gifts to make her double anniversary a special one.

Carol started volunteering stocking the sweet trolley at Mill Hill hospital. She then worked as a "hostess" in HRI main entrance and then moved onto the Breast Clinic and after that our chemotherapy unit.

It emerged she's the only one who has been there longer than consultant JK Joffe.

She was the natural choice to open the newly revamped unit in 2015.
