Day Surgery legend Janice Broadbent has retired after 38 years in the NHS.

She is one of the original members of staff to work on HRI's Day Surgery after it was opened in 1998 and has worked here ever since.

Her friend and colleague Donna Harney,  said: " If anyone had any problems you could go to Janice as she was known as the "oracle" of the unit. Janice has recently moved on to pastures new in the Yorkshire Dales, as a complete change managing a caravan park with her husband Pete.

"Janice was loved and will be greatly missed by all the team here at Day Surgery.  The team are unsure how they will work without her and her knowledge,  however we have Janice on "speed dial".
