Helen’s 40 years of dedication

Helen, who was based at Carluke Community Health Centre, joined NHS Lanarkshire as an enrolled nurse in 1976.
In 2001, after re-training as a registered general nurse, Helen joined Bank Aid, a post she held until 2004 when she was seconded to schools in Coatbridge.
In 2005, Helen joined Carluke Community Health Centre as a community staff nurse before moving to the treatment room in 2008 where she remained until her retirement.
Helen lives in Cleland with her husband Bobby. They have two sons, Paul, 37, and Michael, 35, one daughter, Pamela, 29, and two grandchildren.
In her spare time, Helen enjoys walking and looking after her grandchildren.
