This week, Alison Edmondson our staff Staff Nurse has retired after first joining the Trust way back in 1976 - 40 years ago!

 

Her nursing roles have included working in Orthopaedics, A&E, and ICU, before spending the last 8 and a half years working in the discharge lounge leading up to her retirement.

 

Alison is also a qualified midwife, and in 2007 completed a return to practice at Bradford Univeristy.

 

Her colleagues threw a gathering for Alison as she bid farewell.

 

When we asked her how she plans to spend her retirement, Alison told us, "The way I plan to spend my retirement is to spend more time with my family".
