Aileen Robertson retires
Friends and colleagues gathered to pay a special farewell to Aileen Robertson who retired from NHS Lanarkshire in January after a remarkable 40 years service.
The district nurse team leader joined NHS Lanarkshire on 1 August 1975 as a trainee nurse based at Law House, Carluke. After qualifying, Aileen moved to Bellshill maternity before moving to Bellshill Health Centre as a community district nurse.
In 1999, Aileen was promoted to team leader and moved to Motherwell Health Centre where she remained until her retirement.
Aileen lives in Bellshill with her husband James. She has two children Natalie (31) and Shaun (21) and three grandchildren Connor (9), Noel (2) and George (2).
In her spare time, Aileen is an active member of the weimaranner club for Scotland. She enjoys walking her dog and looking after her grandchildren. To mark her retirement, Aileen plans to travel extensively.
Colleague Yvonne Ford said: “Aileen has been a true inspiration to all who have worked with her. She will be sorely missed by all her colleagues.”
